A malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) of bone arising in the fibula of a 21-year-old woman is described. Clinical, radiologic, and histologic findings demonstrated rapid tumor progression. Chromosomal analysis of the biopsy specimen showed great karyotypic heterogeneity, whereas the resection specimen four weeks later displayed a rather homogeneous karyotype. Both revealed a clonal t(14;22)(q11;p12). Several other clonal and non-clonal chromosomal aberrations were observed. Some of these were previously described in giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) and may correlate with aggressive behavior, e.g., aberrations involving 8p11, 19q13, and 20q13. The change from karyotypic heterogeneity to relative homogeneity may be related to tumor progression. The chromosomal findings further suggest that the giant cell type of MFH of bone may be related to malignant GCTB.

D015726 Giant Cells Multinucleated masses produced by the fusion of many cells; often associated with viral infections. In AIDS, they are induced when the envelope glycoprotein of the HIV virus binds to the CD4 antigen of uninfected neighboring T4 cells. The resulting syncytium leads to cell death and thus may account for the cytopathic effect of the virus.

D018219 Histiocytoma, Benign Fibrous A benign tumor composed, wholly or in part, of cells with the morphologic characteristics of HISTIOCYTES and with various fibroblastic components. Fibrous histiocytomas can occur anywhere in the body. When they occur in the skin, they are called dermatofibromas or sclerosing hemangiomas.
