A Case of Malignant Fibrous Histiocytoma of the Maxillary Sinus

Abstract

We experienced a case of malignant fibrous histiocytoma in a 67-year-old man who initially had swelling in the left upper gingival region followed by rapidly extensive growths. He died 3 montsh after the treatment consists of subtotal maxillectomy, postoperative irradiation and chemotherapy with distant metastases to lung, liver and bone marrow. This tumor was difficult to diagnose from the histological findings. Such patients require extensive removal of the tumor, post-operative radiotherapy and combination chemotherapy.
