Malignant fibrous histiocytoma of bone.
Eleven cases of malignant fibrous histiocytoma of bone observed during recent years are reported. An analysis is presented with regard to sex, age, site, symptoms, radiography, macroscopic and microscopic aspects. The differential diagnosis is discussed on the basis of these criteria. Because of the small number of cases and limited follow up, it was not possible to come to any definite conclusions concerning prognosis and treatment. Treatment was surgical in almost all the cases.
