Abstract:
Malignant fibrous histiocytomas are common sarcomas of later life. They arise most commonly in the lower extremities and, only rarely, in the head and neck. Fibrous histiocytomas, mostly benign, have been reported in the orbit and conjunctiva, but only three benign lesions have been described in the eyelids. I present a case of malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the eyelid which recurred locally, but has shown no evidence of metastases.
