A case of malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the maxillary sinus.
Malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) is recognized as one of the most common soft tissue sarcomas arising in late adulthood. Most MFHs arise from the extremities and the retroperitoneum, thus the incidence of head and neck MFH is relatively low. Because of its rare incidence, there are very few reports focusing on the imaging features of MFH arising in the maxillary sinus. A case of MFH of the maxillary sinus in a 67-year-old male patient is reported including imaging and pathological features.
