A case of malignant fibrous histiocytoma presenting with pyrexia of undetermined origin and arising in the sternum, a localization not previously described, is reported. The patient died with septic shock after multi-drug chemotherapy including high dose methotrexate treatment with citrovorum factor rescue.
