The prognosis for a person with a malignant fibrous histiocytoma depends on their tumor grade and stage, the size of the tumor, and their age at diagnosis. Low grade tumors are often completely cured following surgical removal. However, high grade tumors and those at stage III or IV have a poor prognosis. Prognosis is also worse if the person is older than 60 or if their tumor is larger than 5cm.
