Abstract
Introduction: Fibrous histiocytoma is the name for a group of lesions characterized by biphasic cell populations of fibroblast and histiocytes. Both benign and malignant forms have been described. The benign form often shows relapse following treatment and shows poor response to chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Therefore, radical excision or resection remains the therapeutic goal.
Case Report: Herein, we present a case of recurrent benign fibrous histiocytoma of the head and neck in a 25-year-old Nigerian male that was excised and skin grafted.
Conclusion: Fibrous histiocytoma is less common in the head and neck region.

Keywords: Fibrous histiocytoma, Recurrent, Frontonasal
