A Case of Malignant Fibrous Histiocytoma

Abstract

A 57-year-old Korean man with malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) on the leg is presented. Histopathologic examination was consistent with a pleomorphic -storiform subtype of MFH with highly pleomorphic cellular features and frequent mitosis. According to recent evidences, MFH might be a heterogenous group of poorly differentiated tumors rather than a distinct entity. Our case was only positive to CD68 and vimentin immunohistochemically.
