Malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the temporal bone with endocranial extension

AJNR Am J Neuroradiol. 1997 Feb;18(2):331-4.

Abstract

Cranial malignant fibrous histiocytomas are rare tumors. Most are hypervascular, destructive masses that are similar to other malignant lesions and to malignant fibrous histiocytomas found elsewhere in the body. We describe a myxoid malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the temporal bone, possibly of dural origin, with features that more closely resembled a meningioma at CT, MR imaging, and angiography.
