ABSTRACT

Primary intracranial malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH), or myxofibrosarcoma, is an extremely rare condition, with only a few cases reported in the literature. We report a case of a dural-based myxofibrosarcoma in a previously healthy 42-year-old man that was initially presumed to be an atypical meningioma. The findings based on conventional and advanced magnetic resonance sequences, including diffusion-weighted imaging, perfusion weighted imaging and proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy, as well as histopathological aspects, are discussed.
