Malignant fibrous histiocytoma in a patient with Blackfan-Diamond anemia.

Blackfan-Diamond anemia, a chronic, pure red cell aplasia, is rare. Malignant fibrous histiocytoma is also uncommon; it can arise in pre-existing bone lesions. The authors describe a 23-year-old man with Blackfan-Diamond anemia complicated by hemochromatosis in whom malignant fibrous histiocytoma developed in the distal femur.
