Abstract :
Undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma
(UPS) was earlier termed as malignant fibrous
histiocytoma (MFH). UPH mainly affects extremities
and retroperitoneum with the age predisposition of 50+.
We present a case of 16 year old boy with malignant
UPS; primary in thigh with lung metastases showing an
excellent response to multidisciplinary approach
involving surgeryfollowed by systemic combination
chemotherapy. The treatment of the patient with
metastatic UPS/MFH was successfulutilizing a
multidisciplinary approach; although, this type of
sarcoma carries a poor prognosis and seen to be
insensitive to both chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
