A 37-year-old woman presented with a proven case of malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the skull. This is thought to be a rare complication of post-radiation to a chromophobe adenoma which was treated by radiotherapy nine years previously. The radiation dose given to the sella region after the removal of the chromophobe adenoma was 4500 cGy.
