Abstract
- Malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) is an aggressive and most common soft tissue sarcoma that occurs in the skeletal muscle of the extremities, trunk or retroperitoneum of late adult life. But the disease course, prognostic factors and outcome in younger patients have not been well described, because MFH rarely occurs in children. We report a case of MFH presenting on the left thoracic back in a 12 year-old boy with systemic metastasis of liver, kidney, bone and adrenal gland.
