Resumen

El histiocitoma fibroso maligno es el sarcoma de partes blandas más frecuente en el adulto, con una mayor incidencia entre los 40 y 60 años, afectando mayoritariamente a los varones. El 70% de los casos se sitúan en las extremidades. La localización intracraneal del HFM es muy poco frecuente y la mayoría de las veces se originan en la duramadre o las leptomeninges.

Presentamos el caso clínico de un paciente de 60 años afecto de un histiocitoma fibroso maligno, originado en la duramadre craneal, que fue extirpado completamente, y con un seguimiento de 12 meses tras el diagnóstico.

Realizamos una revisión de los 24 casos recogidos en la literatura y analizamos las características clínicas y terapéuticas.
