LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Storiform-type Malignant Histiocytoma of the Lung

چکیده
To the editor: Soft tissue sarcomas are neoplasms which establish themselves on structures of mesodermic origin. The most common histological variant in adults is the malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH), though this rarely occurs in the lung. Furthermore, before labeling such a histiocytoma as being of pulmonary origin, it is important to rule out the possibility of a primary site elsewhere, given that such tumors are more often the result of metastasis. We report a case of this unusual pulmonary disease.
