Metachronous Malignant Fibrous Histiocytoma of Skull

Abstract

Primary Malignant Fibrous Histiocytoma (MFH) of skull is a rare tumour with malignant features similar to MFH located elsewhere. Primary MFH of bone may metastasize to soft tissues or other bones. We report a case of a metachronous MFH involving the skull.
