Abstract:
Fibrous histiocytomas are complex group of tumors that feature cells resembling fibroblasts and histiocytes and that exhibit a cellular arrangement referred to as a storiform or cartwheel pattern. A 36 year old man was referred to our hospital with 2 months history of protruding mass in his right eye. Mass excision was performed and histopathologic examination including immunohistochemical stainning revealed malignant fibrous histiocytoma and he received radiation therapy.
