The radiograph reveals an aggressive purely lytic lesion of the distal femoral metaphysis. There is no apparent matrix mineralization or periosteal reaction. The photomicrographs show a malignant spindle cell neoplasm in a storiform pattern. Based on these findings, the diagnosis is malignant fibrous histiocytoma of bone. At most institutions, patients with this tumor are treated similar to patients with osteosarcoma with multi-agent chemotherapy and surgery with wide margins (resection or amputation).
