Denied
The Board denied service connection for malignant fibrous histiocytoma as it was not aggravated by the Veteran's service-connected obstructive sleep apnea.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner opined that there was no medical evidence linking the Veteran's throat cancer to his obstructive sleep apnea or any exposure during service, and the Board found this opinion persuasive.
