Case report: malignant fibrous histiocytoma following radiation therapy of fibrous dysplasia.
Malignant fibrous histiocytoma commonly occurs spontaneously. In some cases it follows previous therapeutic or incidental irradiation, or miscellaneous pre-existing osseous conditions. Recently, it has been associated with total hip arthroplasty. We report a case of malignant fibrous histiocytoma following radiation therapy of fibrous dysplasia and review the relevant literature.
