  • Title: [Diagnosis and treatment of primary malignant fibrous histiocytoma of bone].
    Author: Wang JH.
    Journal: Zhonghua Wai Ke Za Zhi; 1993 Feb; 31(2):82-4. PubMed ID: 8223011.
    Abstract:
    Eleven cases of primary malignant fibrous histiocytoma of bone treated surgically were reported. There were 7 males and 4 females, with age ranged from 29 to 50 years (mean age 35.3 Yrs). The sites of involvement were femur (3 cases), tibia (3), humerus (2), radius (1) temporal bone, (1) and maxilla (1). The prominent findings in these cases were pain and swelling associated with regional mass. Differential diagnosis should be made from giant cell tumor, fibrosarcoma, osteosarcoma reticulum cell sarcoma and osteomyelitis. We in order to improve survival rate, think the ablative surgery should be the therapy of choice with post operational adjuvant chemotherapy. The five-year survival was 44% in these cases.
