[Abstract] Objective: To probe the value of MRI diagnosis of malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the breast.Materials and Methods: The MR findings and clinical data of 3 cases with the malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the breast by operation and pathology were reviewed retrospectively.Results: The 3 tumors were large, on MRI, all tumors showed low signal intensity on T1-weighted images. On T2-weighted images, tumors displayed inhomogeneous high, low, and mix signal intensity. Necrosis or myxoid degeneration were seen in all 3 cases. Low intense septum structurew as noted on T2-weighted images in 3 patients.Conclusions: MRI has the important diagnosis value in the malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the breast. The confirmed diagnosis of malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the breast must be depended on the operation and pathology.
