SUMMARY A case of malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) developing in a burn scar is presented. The patient was burnt at 3 years of age and 25 years later, a rapidly growing tumour developed in the burn scar. MFH was diagnosed by light and electron microscopy and by an immunoperoxidase method. This complication of a burn scar has not been previously reported.
