title: Malignant fibrous histiocytoma arising from discoid lupus erythematosus.
abstract: While the association of discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE) and subsequent squamous cell carcinoma is well known, there are no reports in the English-language literature concerning the association of DLE and soft-tissue sarcoma. We describe a patient with DLE and malignant fibrous histiocytoma.
