Enzinger and Weiss' classified angiomatoid malignant fibrous histiocytoma (AMFH) as a subtype of malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH). Clinically, AMFH manifests itself as a multinodular or multicystic, hemorrhagic mass.1 We saw a patient with a markedly bleeding, cystic tumor on chronic radiodermatitis of the lower abdomen. The risk of massive bleeding and its development on chronic radiodermatitis is reported herein.
