title: Case report 639: Malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) of the patella.
abstract: Malignant fibrous histiocytoma of bone is a rare skeletal neoplasm, reported in the patella on only a few occasions. We describe an additional case in this bone in an 84-year-old woman. We believe this neoplasm should be considered in the differential diagnosis of malignant tumors of the patella.
