Study of three radio-induced malignant fibrohistiocytomas of bone.
Malignant fibrohistiocytoma (MFH) is one of the most frequent malignant tumours of soft tissues [6]. Its classification as a bone tumour, however, is relatively recent [1]. In addition to primary MFH in bone, the entity has been observed to occur as a secondary phenomenon, some cases having complicated pre-existing infarcts of bone [4]. This paper reports three cases of MFH of bone developing as a consequence of previous radiation therapy.
