Abstract

Malignant Fibrous Histiocytoma of the Preauricular Area

Lee DH, Kim JH, Yoon TM, Lim SC and Lee JK

Malignant Fibrous Histiocytoma (MFH) typically arises in the soft tissue of the extremities and  retroperitoneum, and the head and neck region is seldom involved. We present a case of MFH of the  preauricular area treated by radical excision of the tumor with local bi-lobed flap reconstruction and  postoperative radiotherapy. MFH of the preauricular area is a difficult site to treat, but combined therapy  using radical excision of the tumor with local bi-lobed flap reconstruction and postoperative radiotherapy  showed good cosmetic and functional results.
