A 3-year-old girl had a 4-month history of a tumor in her right hand. The tumor was
located in the subcutaneous and soft tissues of the palm and the long, ring, and small
fingers. Histologic studies showed a malignant fibrous histiocytoma that was confirmed
by the ultrastructural study as having a fibroblastic and histiocytic origin. The
long, ring, and small fingers were amputated. The postoperative course was normal,
and 18 months later no recurrence or metastases were observed.
