Dermoscopic findings in an early malignant fibrous histiocytoma on the face

Malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH), currently classified as undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma, is the most frequent soft tissue sarcoma in adulthood, but it is not as common as a primary skin tumor. MFH affects mostly the thighs and trunk, head and neck is an infrequent presentation in adults....
