Fibrous histiocytoma is a pleomorphic sarcoma usually occurring in the deep soft tissue of old ages. It is rare in childhood. We report a 13-year-old girl with enlarged mass below the right eyebrow whose CT scan was in favor of soft tissue mass without bony erosion.

Fibrous histiocytoma is a pleomorphic sarcoma usually occurring in the deep soft tissue of old ages. It is rare in childhood. We report a 13-year-old girl with enlarged mass below the right eyebrow whose CT scan was in favor of soft tissue mass without bony erosion.
She was operated and histopathology was in favor of locally aggressive fibrous histiocytoma. Chemotherapy was given with VAC-D protocol for 12 months. Close follow-up 14 months after discontinuation of chemotherapy showed no sign of local recurrence or distant metastasis.
