Abstract:
Malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) is a pleomorphic sarcoma which most frequently arises in the soft tissue. About two-thirds of the tumors are located within skeletal muscle; relatively few cases have been reported arising in the skin. The micromorphology of the tumor is characterized by storiform histiocyte-like cells, malignant giant cells and bizzare mitoses. We report here a case of cutaneous MFH developed in xeroderma pigmentosum occurred in a middle-aged man.
