Case Report (n=1)
Complete tumor excision of recurrent malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the mandible can result in long-term survival with minimal loss of function.
Malignant fibrous histiocytoma is a sarcoma which commonly occurs in the soft tissues, joints and tendons of the extremities of adults but its occurrence in the oral and maxillofacial region is very rare. We present a rare case of malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the mandible with recurrence in the infratemporal fossa after surgery and radiotherapy. Patient underwent second surgery and complete tumor excision with minimal loss of function was achieved. Patient survived 8 years after surgery and died of natural cause.
