“…Radiotherapy has tended to be used after surgery for residual tumour and recurrence. Crissman and Henson (1978) performed a right hemimaxillectomy with removal of the orbital floor for MFH of the maxilla, giving 5,000 rads. post-operatively to residual tumour in the retrobulbar area.…”

A Rare Case of Malignant Fibrous Histiocytoma of the Gingiva

“…Although, MFH is primarily a soft tissue sarcoma, it also can originate in bone. Some cases with involvement of the mandible, 5,6 maxilla, and maxillary sinus 7–14 have been reported, of which a few were intraosseous in nature.

Myxofibrosarcoma Arising in the Maxillary Sinus: A Case Report with a Review of the Ultrastructural Findings and Differential Diagnoses

“…It is the most common soft tissue sarcoma that occurs in late adult life, peaking in the seventh decade [4,12,19,[23][24][25] and is mainly encountered in the lower extremities [1,2,6,7,9,11,[25][26][27][28]. They have also been reported in the paranasal sinuses [23,[29][30][31][32], nasal cavity [1], maxillary bone and maxillary sinus [33]. The myxofibrosarcoma has only rarely been reported in the sinuses and orofacial region [30,[34][35][36][37].…”
