title: Angiography of malignant fibrous histiocytoma of bone.
abstract: Angiograms of 10 cases of malignant fibrous histiocytoma of bone were reviewed and correlated with surgical and pathological findings. Nine tumors were hypervascular. Seven demonstrated malignant characteristics (laking in one and coarse tumor vessels in 6). Seven tumors displaced adjacent normal vessels. All angiograms accurately delineated soft-tissue masses and cortical breakthrough but intraosseous extent was less clearly defined. Tumor thrombi within draining veins were evident retrospectively in one instance. Angiography in these cases contributed substantially to surgical management.
