Malignant fibrous histiocytoma only infrequently arises from structures of the head and neck. When it does, it most often originates in facial structures, particularly the maxilla. This case report details a malignant fibrous histiocytoma arising from the pericranium, and presenting clinically as a large indurated frontal calvarial mass. A CT scan showed its origin to be from the pericranium and demonstrated its intracranial extension. Radical excision presented a surgical challenge because of the extensiveness of the lesion. Yet, combined with post-operative teletherapy, a favourable outcome was obtained.
