introduction: myxofibrosarcoma was originally described as the myxoid variant of malignant fibrous histiocytoma (mfh), a high-grade and aggressive sarcoma, which is very uncommon in the head and neck region, with about 100 cases reported up to now. mfh occurring in the maxillary sinus is so rare that only 23 cases have been reported. we hereby report a case of myxofibrosarcoma in the maxillary ...

background & aim: malignant fibrous histiocytoma (mfh), is the most common soft tissue sarcoma in adults and is frequently seen is elderly. this lesion is so rare in bones and if seen, is common in long bones and the incidence of the lesion in maxillofacial bones is uncommon. in addition, maxilla is an unusual site for malignant fibrous histiocytoma (mfh). the aim of this article was to report ...

Malignant fibrous histiocytoma, a type of sarcoma, is a malignant neoplasm with uncertain origin that arises in both the soft tissues and the bone. The occurrence of primary malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the pleura is extremely rare. We report a case of a 65-year-old Korean man who is being diagnosed with primary malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the pleura.

Malignant fibrous histiocytoma is a high-grade and aggressive sarcoma. It is a type of histiocytoma that is the most common soft tissue sarcoma of late adult life. These tumors rarely involve the head and neck region. Wide excision followed by postoperative radiotherapy is believed to be the treatment of choice for malignant fibrous histiocytoma. We present a rare case of malignant fibrous hist...

BACKGROUND We present the extremely rare case of a 67-year-old male with malignant fibrous histiocytoma, arising in the lumbar spine, demonstrated with radiological and pathological studies. CASE REPORT The patient and his relatives refused open surgical approach and we performed transpedicular vertebral corpus biopsy and vertebroplasty under spinal anesthesia.

In this report, a case of malignant fibrous histiocytoma involving skin, lungs, kidneys, pancreas and mediastinal lymph node was described. Microscopically, the tumor classified as storiform-pleomorphic type malignant fibrous histiocytoma.

Malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) is an aggressive soft tissue sarcoma occurring in the late adulthood. It may rarely arise as a primary neoplasm in bone, but usually in the long bones and accounts for less than 1% of the malignant tumors of bone. Its presentation in the facial bones and skull is extremely rare. Malignant fibrous histiocytoma of bone is a highly malignant tumor that recurs, ...

Malignant phyllodes tumor is usually diagnosed by the presence of benign duct-like epithelium and malignant mesenchymal tissue. In addition to the usual fibrosarcomatous features, the mesenchymal component may show areas resembling osteogenic sarcoma, chondrosarcoma, liposarcoma, leiomyosarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, malignant mesenchymoma, and, very rarely, malignant fibrous histiocytoma. We prese...

Primary cardiac malignant fibrous histiocytoma is extremely rare and its pathophysiological characteristics remain largely unknown. We treated a female patient with persistent fever and disseminated intravascular coagulation. Since ultrasonic echocardiography revealed the presence of a cardiac tumor and her serum interleukin-6 level was elevated, we speculated she had a cardiac myxoma. Histolog...
