“…In general, treatment options for MFH may involve surgery and chemotherapy. Patients should coordinate with their doctors to develop a treatment plan that meets their medical needs and personal values 5 7 8. Choosing the most appropriate MFH treatments is a decision that ideally involves the patient, the family and the healthcare team.…”

SUMMARYMalignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) is a type of histiocytoma and is the most common soft tissue sarcoma of late adult life. However, it is relatively uncommon in the head and neck area. It usually occurs/develops in the lower extremities and in the retroperitonium. This tumour is difficult to distinguish histologically from other sarcomas and carcinomas. Surgery is the only treatment option. Prognosis is fairly poor; recurrence and local metastasis are common. In comparison with MFH of the extremities and the trunk, the 5-year survival rate for cases of this tumour in the head and neck is low. It is important to consider MFH in differential diagnosis of head and neck tumours because of its poor prognosis. We report a rare case of MFH in an 11-year-old girl. BACKGROUND

“…10 MFH shows a high incidence of local recurrence and metastasis, with the lungs being the most common site of spread from tumors arising in the head and neck. [9][10][11][12] MFH primary in bone results in metastasis via hematogenous dissemination to the lungs rather than to regional lymph nodes.…”

Malignant fi brous histiocytoma (MFH) of the mandible is rare. We describe a case of MFH of the mandible with metastatic disease to the lungs. To our knowledge only 30 cases have been reported prior to the present case. In previously reported cases, there was a strong tendency for the posterior portion of the mandible to be affected by MFH; ours is only the second reported case involving the anterior portion of the mandible. We review the diagnosis, pathology, and treatment of this rare malignancy.

“…Irradiation and chemotherapy have also been used in combination with surgery. Radiotherapy is mainly reserved for tumors that are inaccessible to surgical resection or palliative therapy 38 . The decision to use radiotherapy is dependent on the size, site, histologic grade, and the width of surgical markings.…”
