Popis:	Malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) is the most common soft-tissue sarcoma occurring in adult life. It is relatively uncommon in the head and neck area. Surgery is the most reliable treatment for MFH, but the 5-year survival rate for cases of this tumour in the head and neck region is low in comparison with MFH of the extremities and trunk. Most metastases occurred in the lungs (90%), followed by bone (8%). Liver metastases of MFH are very rare (1%). We report on a case of a 62-year-old woman undergoing repeat surgery for an MFH of the neck, with liver metastasis found 14 months after the first surgery. She underwent liver resection and the postoperative course was uneventful.
