A Case of Undifferentiated Pleomorphic Sarcoma of the Sternocleidomastoid Muscle
Undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS), formerly known as malignant fibrous histiocytoma, has been re-classified as one of the undifferentiated/unclassified sarcomas, as they lack a tendency towards clear differentiation, in the current WHO classification. UPS arising from the head and neck region accounts for less than 1% of all head and neck tumors.
