We report herein a rare case of pediatric intracerebral malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH). A 2-year-old boy gradually developed mild left hemiparesis and became somnolent. Magnetic resonance imaging upon admission revealed a well-enhanced mass lesion in the right frontotemporal operculum. Subtotal removal of the tumor was successfully performed using a right transsulcal and transcortical approach. The tumor developed as an extraaxial mass with brain adhesion to the arterial wall of the branch of the middle cerebral artery rather than to cerebral tissue. Pathological examination confirmed the presence of inflammatory-type MFH. Pediatric cases of intracerebral MFH are rare, and the possible origin of the tumor is discussed based on clinicopathological findings.
