Malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the breast with axillary lymph node involvement

This case history describes a 70-year-old female patient with a malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) of the breast with secondary involvement of the skin and axillary lymph node metastases. We think that in the case of a MFH of the breast a radical or modified radical mastectomy should be pursued instead of a simple mastectomy.
