Malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) is a rare and potentially highly malignant sarcoma. The authors report 6 cases of MFH in various sites: two in the chest wall, one in the pelvis, two in the gluteal zones and one on the scalp. Ultrasonography and computed tomography were the main imaging methods used in the assessment of the structure and extension of the tumor. A poor prognosis was noted in four cases: death within a few months in the two thoracic sites, recurrence in the pelvic and scalp lesions, radical surgery allowed recovery in two cases. A review of the literature showed that MRI and CT are complementary in the initial staging and follow-up of these patients.
恶性纤维组织细胞瘤（MFH）是一种罕见且具有高度潜在恶性的肉瘤。作者报告了6例不同部位的MFH：2例位于胸壁，1例位于骨盆，2例位于臀区，1例位于头皮。超声检查和计算机断层扫描是评估肿瘤结构和范围的主要影像学方法。4例预后较差：2例胸部病变在数月内死亡，骨盆和头皮病变复发，2例经根治性手术得以康复。文献回顾表明，MRI和CT在这些患者的初始分期和随访中具有互补性。
