Abstract

A case of malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the temporomandibular joint in a 21-year-old Japanese female was presented. The patient died of the tumor with local aggressive growth but without any organ metastasis, despite the intensive treatment including radical operation of the tumor, irradiation, and chemotherapy. This case suggested that radical curative operation was the only method of the treatment for this tumor. The clinicopathological features of the tumor are discussed, making reference to the malignant fibrous histiocytoma.
