title: Malignant fibrous histiocytoma arising in the upper posterior triangle of the neck.
abstract: We describe the case of a 59-year-old man who came to us with a right neck mass of 4 to 5 months' duration. A histologic diagnosis of malignant fibrous histiocytoma was made, and the patient underwent wide local excision and neck dissection followed by postoperative radiation therapy. We briefly discuss the characteristics and treatment of this rare entity.
