Malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) is one of the most common soft tissue sarcomas among adults. It is characterized by large size, high grade, and biological aggressiveness. There are many reports of MFH after local stimulation, such as bone fracture, implants, and chronic osteomyelitis. In this paper, we report a patient who developed MFH 6 years after amputation, suggesting that wound healing and mechanical force play a role in the local stimulation of this disease.
