Özet

INTRODUCTION: Fibrous histiocytomas are divided into two subgroups: malignant and benign fibrous histiocytomas (BFHs). BFH is one of the most common tumors of the superficial and deep soft tissues; it is commonly found on the skin and presents as a slow-growing solitary nodule made up of a mixture of fibroblastic and histiocytic cells.
