Malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the tongue
1986
Summary Malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) can occur as a rare mesenchymal neoplasm of the deep structures of the head and neck region. An unusual case of MFH of the tongue is described in a 61-year-old male. The primary tumour measured 90 × 50x 30 mm. Treatment consisted of hemiglossectomy in continuity with a supra-omohyoidal neck dissection. The patient has been free from disease for 2 years. The tongue as a primary site of MFH has not been reported to date. The literature of oral manifestations and treatment of this neoplasm is reviewed.
