Malignant fibrous histiocytoma developing in burn scar of the ear
1Department of Surgery, Marshall University School of Medicine, Huntington, West Virginia.
Abstract:
Malignant fibrous histiocytoma is the most common soft tissue sarcoma. The tumours usually present as a painless enlarging mass deep to the subcutaneous tissue most often in the thigh. Wide excision is the recommended treatment, as the incidence of recurrence is high in patients with marginal excision. Metastases can occur in 50 per cent of patients. This patient represents a rare and previously unreported presentation of malignant fibrous histiocytoma in a burn scar of the ear.
