Malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the head and neck is a rare tumor with less than 50 total cases reported in the literature. Its rarity and complex histopathology combine to make it a difficult diagnosis. Two cases are described. Pathology characteristics are discussed. The traditional treatment of choice is wide surgical excision. Radiation therapy is usually reserved for recurrent, unresectable, or extremely aggressive tumors.

Diagnosis And Management

AbstractMalignant Fibrous Histiocytomas (MFH) are uncommon in the head and neck and extremely rare in the nasopharynx. We report a case of MFH arising in the nasopharynx and describe its diagnosis and management. The literature is reviewed and the likely origins of the tumour and its behaviour are discussed.

Primary malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) of the lung is extremely rare although it is among the most common soft tissue sarcomas in adults. Surgery is the primary mode of therapy, with high rates of local and distant recurrence, while radiation therapy appears to be a very useful adjunct, decreasing local relapse. We report a case of primary malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the lung. Fourteen years after surgical resection, the patient is still alive although with multiple metastatic lesions throughout his body.

Four representative cases of keratoacanthoma of the head and neck are presented; one of which contained squamous cell carcinoma at its base. Although keratoacanthoma has become recognized as a distinct clinical entity, its similarities to squamous cell carcinoma frequently result in difficult diagnosis. A discussion of the disease spectrum, diagnosis and management is presented. Prompt and complete surgical excision of head and neck keratoacanthoma is recommended.
