Abstract

Undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma, previously known as malignant fibrous histiocytoma, was one of the most common variant of soft-tissue sarcoma in adults (40 %). It was first recognized as a distinct clinicopathologic entity in the early 1960s as pleomorphic sarcoma. In the head and neck, malignant fibrous histiocytoma is extremely rare and accounts for only 3 % of all undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcomas. We are reporting a large unusual case of undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma involving the right submandibular gland in a 60-year-old male patient.
