Özet

A case of primary intracerebral malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) in 5-year-old girl is presented, the eighteenth case so described in modern literature. A lobulated, heterogenous mass lesion with a haemorragic component was present in our case's MRI. A review of the literature on MFH of the pediatric age group was done to establish guidelines for standard treatment modalities in primary intracerebral MFH.
