A Case of Malignant Fibrous Histiocytoma in Maxillary Sinus

Malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) is a sarcoma that occurs principally in soft tissue and typically involved the skeletal muscle and deep fascia. Although it is one of the most common types of soft tissue sarcoma in late adult life, the involvement of the head and neck area is relatively rare. MFH shows variable histologic appearance, and may be classified into several subtypes(storiform-pleomorphic, myxoid, giant cell, inflammatory, angiomatoid) and the storiform-pleomorphic type is the most common type. The authors have recently experienced a case of MFH in the right maxillary sinus, and report it with a brief review of the related literature.
