Purpose: Malignant changes of Marjolin's ulcer arising from chronic burn scar are rare. The majority of them are squamous cell carcinoma and basal cell carcinoma. Malignant fibrous histiocytoma is a deep seated pleomorphic sarcoma, which occurs principally as a mass of the extremities, abdominal cavity, or retroperitoneum in adults. Methods: We report a 58-year-old male patient who was admitted due to $3.5{\times}5cm$ chronic ulceration of anterior chest wall on the center of old burn scar. His scar had been occurred by boiling oil and treated with conservative treatment 45 years ago. Preoperative punch biopsy showed suspicious malignant changes and contrast enhanced chest CT showed well-defined, irregular shape enhancing lesion on anterior chest wall without intrathoracic metastasis. Results: The tumor was widely excised and defect was covered with skin graft without infection, necrosis and any other complication. The pathologic findings are compatible with malignant fibrous histiocytoma(storiform - pleomorphic type). The patient underwent 3 cycles of chemotheraphy. Although distant metastasis to the lung developed 6 months later and the patient died 9 month later, there was no local reoccurrence. Conclusion: Aggressive and early excision is needed because malignant fibrous histiocytoma has characteristics of high malignancy with a propensity for early and distant spread. Furthermore, the patient's education about disease entity and postoperative regular follow-up for local recurrence or metastasis is very important. To prevent malignancy from secondly healing burn scar, early skin graft is recommended for patients with deep second degree burn.

A case of malignant fibrous histiocytoma [MFH] of left pulmonary artery was reported in the 27 year-old male. He was admitted because of hemoptysis for several times. Chest x-ray revealed nodular lesions in left hilar area and left upper lobe. A left thoracotomy was performed followed left upper lobectomy. The main tumor was originated from the pulmonary arterial bifurcation and proximal portion of the left pulmonary artery. By light microscopy, there were many pleomorphic giant cells, which displayed the storiform pattern. And in those area, dilated or compressed vascular channels were involved by tumor cells, suggesting origin of This tumor. Pulmonary artery angiography and chest CT revealed this tumor was originated from pulmonary artery. It would be the first reported primary malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the pulmonary artery in our country. Postoperative prognosis was uneventful, but recently he was suffered from dyspnea, that was noticed by OVD follow-up for 1 month, probably the heart failure sign due to pulmonary arterial flow obstruction.

Benign fibrous histiocytoma (FH) is a benign tumor composed of fibroblasts and histiocytes in varying proportions. This tumor is usually found in adult extremities but rarely occurs in deep soft tissues of the oral cavity. As it is difficult to diagnose with physical and radiologic exams, deep benign FH can only be diagnosed by histopathology. We report a case of a 36-year-old female patient who came to our department with painless swelling in the right buccal mucosa. This case report reviews the clinical, radiological, and histological aspects of this tumor.

A case of primary malignant fibrous histiocytoma(MFH) of the lung occurring in a 62-year-old man is presented. After preoperative bronchial blushing and washing cytologic diagnosis of poorly differentiated carcinoma, surgical resection and lymph nodes dissection were performed. Subsequent histologic examination revealed a primary MFH. The diagnosis was confirmed by electron microscopic and immunohistochemical examinations. The review of the bronchial brushing and washing cytologic features disclosed many bipolar and a few unipolar spindle tumor cells with a "comel" configuration, mainly single cells, but also forming loose clusters. The nuclei were elongated and hyperchromatic and contained one or more irregular nucleoli. Scattered bizarre, multinucleated tumor giant cells were also present.

The author observed a case of the malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the mandible in 23 aged male patient, who had come to the Infirmary of Dental College, Yonsei University. With the help of careful analysis of radioraphic and clinicopathologic findings, the author had obtained the results as follows. 1. Lesion occured at 22 years of age. 2. Traumatic history or other special predisposing factors were not seen. 3. Lesion appeared as a intra osseous primary tumor not showing any metastatic change. 4. The author have concluded this disease as a malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the mandible according to serial findings.

Benign fibrous histiocytoma (BFH) is a rare benign primary skeletal tumor that occurs commonly in the long bones, spine and pelvis. BFH constitutes a diagnostic challenge because it shares clinical background, radiological characteristics, and histological features with other fibrous lesions such as non-ossifying fibroma, giant cell tumor. We present a case of BFH with cystic change that occurred in the distal femur. We did not identify any case of BFH with cystic change involving the majority of the lesion that occurred in the metaepiphysis of the long bone.

Primary malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) of the chest wall is extremely rare and is characterized by aggressive features, including a high incidence of local recurrence and distant metastasis. Surgical resection of the chest wall is the primary modality of management. However, surgical treatment is not generally recommended in patients with evidence of distant metastasis. Here, we present a case of chest wall MFH along with a schwannoma mimicking distant metastasis in the right upper arm. The patient was treated by radical en bloc resection and survived for more than 9 years without recurrence.

Primary sarcomas of the lung are rare malignant neoplasms which have usually been classified as fibrosarcomas or leiomyosarcomas. Only 10 cases of primary malignant fibrous histiocytoma [MFH] of the lung have previously been reported in the literatures. The histomorphology of the MFH is marked by their extensive cellular variability, nuclear atypia, abnormal mitotic figures and storiform arrangement of the cells. Recently, we experienced a case of MFH, arising in the parenchyme of lung in 66-year-old male patient, and treated with surgical intervention. So we firstly reported it with review of literatures.

1. 연부 조직과 골 조직사이에서의 악성 섬유성 조직구종의 근본적인 조직학적 차이는 없었다. 2. 악성 섬유성 조직구종은 조직학적 소견이 다양하므로, 확진을 위해서는 다른 종양을 반드시 배제하여야한다. 3. 재발시 다른 형태의 조직 소견을 보여줄 수 있기 때문에 정확한 진단을 위해 환자의 과거력 및 과 거의 조직학적 검토가 필수적이라 사료된다.
