Resumen
GARCIA MONLEON, L. et al. Malignant oropharyngeal fibrous histiocytoma: Resection and radial reconstruction with fasciocutaneous flap. Rev Esp Cirug Oral y Maxilofac [online]. 2008, vol.30, n.2, pp.93-100. ISSN 2173-9161.
Malignant fibrous histiocytoma is recognized as the most common soft-tissue sarcoma in adults, although its location in the pharynx is unusual. Only 6 cases of the pharynx have been reported in the scientific literature. We report the case of a patient with a large malignant fibrous histiocytoma in the oropharynx. The tumor was resected with generous margins and the defect was reconstructed with a radial fasciocutaneous flap. The epidemiology, clinical manifestations, incidence of metastases, histopathology, prognostic factors and treatment of malignant fibrous histiocytoma are discussed in relation to this case.
