Özet
Malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) which is usually originated from muscles and deep fascia and rarely from the subcutaneous tissue is the most common soft tissue sarcoma; and it frequently invades the extremities [3-5,18,19]. Occurrence of this tumor on a burn scar of scalp is a very rare entity. In the literature, there were only four reported malign fibrous histiocytoma cases that originated from a burn scar but none of them was at the scalp region [7-10].A female patient complaining about a painful mass at the scalp region was admitted to our clinic twenty years after burning with hot water when she was 3 years old. Pathological and clinical features of this rapidly growing malignant fibrous histiocytoma were similar with the other cases reported before. After the diagnosis was clear as a pleomorphic storiform type of MFH, a wide tumor excision was done because of the high risk of local recurrence [4,6].
