Malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) is one of the most common sarcomatous tumors, usually growing in soft tissues of the whole body, but with a predilection for the extremities. Occurrence in the head and neck is less frequent, and that in the mandible is extremely rare.A 45-year-old male with primary MFH of the mandible is reported. His chief complaint was a tumor in the right preauricular region. Intra-arterial administration of cisplatin and adriamycin did not have any apparent effect. Extended surgical resection was then performed followed by reconstruction with the use of a rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap, subsequently resulting in a good clinical course. In the treatment of MFH of the head and neck neither chemotherapy nor radiotherapy have provided outstanding results in general. Therefore, when chemotherapy is not effective, as in the present case, extended surgical excision at an early stage, is necessary.
