Abstract
- Malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) is an aggressive soft-tissue sarcoma that most commonly occurs in the skeletal muscle of the extremities or retroperitoneum of the middle and late adulthood. We present a case of a 65-year-old woman who was presented with an asymptomatic erythematous nodule with central erosion on left temporal area. She was diagnosed with MFH, and then underwent Mohs micrographic surgery and flap coverage. No sign of metastatic recurrence was noted during the 6 month follow-up period.
