Malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) of the upper respiratory tract is rare. We report a case of laryngeal MFH in a 78-year-old man. The patient died 8 months after the first surgical treatment. The clinicopathologic features are described, and the importance of electron microscopy and immunohistochemical techniques in the differential diagnosis with so-called "sarcomatoid carcinoma" is stressed. The tumor has an aggressive biological behavior and tends to recur and metastasize.

Abstract
Malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) of the upper respiratory tract is rare. We report a case of laryngeal MFH in a 78-year-old man. The patient died 8 months after the first surgical treatment. The clinicopathologic features are described, and the importance of electron microscopy and immunohistochemical techniques in the differential diagnosis with so-called "sarcomatoid carcinoma" is stressed. The tumor has an aggressive biological behavior and tends to recur and metastasize.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
