  • Title: Undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma of the orbital region.
    Author: Müller-Richter UD, Kohlhof JK, Reichert TE, Roldán JC.
    Journal: Br J Oral Maxillofac Surg; 2008 Jun; 46(4):325-7. PubMed ID: 17681406.
    Abstract:
    Undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (formerly known as malignant fibrous histiocytoma) has been established as an entity in the WHO-classification of soft tissue tumors since 2002. Before this the term "malignant fibrous histiocytoma" has been a collective term for soft tissue malignancies that had no distinct components and included most soft tissue sarcomas (40%). With the new classification they account for only about 5%, and tumors arising in the head and neck contribute only about 1-3% of all undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcomas. We report a rare case in which the orbital region was involved.
