title: [Malignant soft tissue tumors of the hand: report of 2 malignant fibrous histiocytomas and 2 extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcomas].
abstract: The authors discusses two malignant tumors of the soft tissue of the hand: the malignant fibrous histiocytoma and the extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma. With each tumor two patients were involved. One patient with malignant fibrous histiocytoma required amputation at the fourth and fifth carpometacarpal joints, one patient with extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma amputation in the proximal third of the forearm. Both remained free of metastases. Also the other two patients after surgical excision and amputation in the third metacarpal bone respectively, are free of recurrences or metastases till now.
