Malignant fibrous histiocytoma has recently become an established diagnosis for some tumors that arise in the musculo-skeletal tissue. But it contains areas that resemble with osteosarcoma, fibrosarcoma, the microscopic lesions are composed of interlacing bands of fibroblast, bizzare histiocytes and multinucleated giant cells, arranged in storiform pattern.
