Abstract
- Burn scar can give rise to different types of malignant tumors, and malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) is very rare among these different tumors. We herein report on a rare case of MFH that developed on the burn scar. A 58-year-old male patient who had been scalded on the chest and abdomen at the age of 8 years was hospitalized with exudative ulcer in the scar area. He was diagnosed with MFH and then he underwent wide excision and flap coverage. No sign of metastatic recurrence was noted during the 6 month follow-up period.
