title: Malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the nasopharynx.
abstract: Malignant Fibrous Histiocytomas (MFH) are uncommon in the head and neck and extremely rare in the nasopharynx. We report a case of MFH arising in the nasopharynx and describe its diagnosis and management. The literature is reviewed and the likely origins of the tumour and its behaviour are discussed.
