Abstract:
Malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) is the most common soft tissue sarcoma. It is regarded as an undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma with an unproven histogenesis. It most commonly occurs in the skeletal muscles of the extremities or the retroperitoneum of adults. It often metastasizes to the lungs, lymph nodes, bones and liver, but rarely to the skin. We report here a case of malignant fibrous histiocytoma that metastasized to the skin.
