title: [Malignant fibrous histiocytoma of soft tissue. Pathology and radiology of an unusual sarcoma].
abstract: Four cases of malignant fibrous histiocytomas are reported. An attempt is made to determine some characteristic roentgenologic features of this disease. There is no pathognomonic radiologic sign; however, angiographic documentation of hypervascularization together with neovascularity and absorption values of about 35 HE in computed tomography suggest a predominantly fibrous sarcoma. Differential diagnosis on abscess formation, tumours of the fat tissue and primary vascular neoplasms should be performed and these conditions ruled out if not applicable.
