Malignant Fibrous Histiocytoma of the Preauricular Area

Malignant Fibrous Histiocytoma (MFH) typically arises in the soft tissue of the extremities and retroperitoneum, and the head and neck region is seldom involved. We present a case of MFH of the preauricular area treated by radical excision of the tumor with local bi-lobed flap reconstruction and postoperative radiotherapy. MFH of the preauricular area is a difficult site to treat, but combined therapy using radical excision of the tumor with local bi-lobed flap reconstruction and postoperative radiotherapy showed good cosmetic and functional results.
