Abstract

Sarcomas of the breast are uncommon, accounting for less than 1% of all primary malignancies. Among these tumors, malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) is very rare. One case of the MFH of the mammary gland is presented in this paper. A 20-year-old unmarried female presented with a left breast lump. Fine needle aspiration cytology was inconclusive. Biopsy revealed the diagnosis of malignant phylloides tumor. After simple mastectomy, histological diagnosis of MFH was made. In addition, the possibilities of the therapy of the MFH in the breast are discussed.
