    Author: Amante AC.
    Journal: J Philipp Dent Assoc; 1997; 49(1):20-6. PubMed ID: 10202503.
    Abstract:
    Malignant fibrous histiocytoma is one of the most common sarcomas of soft tissues in late adult life. However, this neoplasm rarely arises in the oral and maxillofacial region with the maxilla presenting as an unusual site. A case report of a 40-year old woman with malignant fibrous histiocytoma involving the maxilla is discussed with relevant literature reviewed. The treatment chosen was partial maxillectomy. The patient was referred for cobalt therapy after surgery. Eight months after diagnosis, the patient died of the illness.
