Dermoscopic findings in an early malignant fibrous histiocytoma on the face

چکیده
Malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH), currently classified as undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma, is the most frequent soft tissue sarcoma in adulthood, but it is not as common as a primary skin tumor. MFH affects mostly the thighs and trunk, head and neck is an infrequent presentation in adults. MFH is often diagnosed in advanced stages, with a tendency to local recurrence and systemic metastasis. Since tumor thickness and size are identified as major prognostic factors, early recognition becomes crucial to improve prognosis. We present a case of a cutaneous malignant fibrous histiocytoma located on the face in which dermoscopy was useful in clinical management and definition.
