OBJECTIVE In this study, 22 cases of locally recurrent urological malignant fibrous histiocytoma were reviewed considering therapeutic options, follow-up and prognosis. PATIENTS AND METHODS In the available literature on this topic we identified 19 cases of locally recurrent genitourinary malignant fibrous histiocytoma. Three additional cases are discussed, primarily arising from the kidney, ...

A case is reported of a patient who presented with a soft-tissue tumour at the site of a total hip replacement. This tumour proved to be a malignant fibrous histiocytoma.

Malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) of the conjunctiva is an extremely rare tumour, and only three previous cases have been reported. We describe two patients with MFH of the conjunctiva: a 58-year-old white male with epibulbar tumour who had exenteration and is alive after five years' follow-up, and a 3 1/2-year-old African girl with xeroderma pigmentosum and an MFH of her right eye conjuncti...

BACKGROUND Many variants of dermatofibromas have been described, and being aware of the variants of dermatofibromas is important to avoid misdiagnosis. OBJECTIVE We wanted to evaluate the clinical and pathologic characteristics of 122 cases of dermatofibromas. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the medical records and 122 biopsy specimens of 92 patients who were diagnosed with dermatofibro...

The light microscopic, immunohistological and ultrastructural findings in two cases of malignant fibrous histiocytoma arising in salivary glands are presented and the features of seven previously reported cases are reviewed. This neoplasm is extremely rare in this site and may pose problems in diagnosis. It has to be distinguished from other spindled cell tumours, in particular from epithelial ...

A case of malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the mediastinum presenting with unusual features of fever and leucocytosis is reported. This is the youngest patient reported in the literature who had this tumour in the mediastinum.

Malignant fibrous histiocytoma is an unusual musculoskeletal tumour which typically presents in the fifth and sixth decades. Extensive radiographic and laboratory investigations are seldom helpful in diagnosis, although scanning techniques and angiography may assist in determining the extent of the tumour. Wide local excision has been the most common form oftreatment for this lesion, after open...

Primary malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) of the spleen is extremely rare. Since the first description of primary splenic MFH reported by Govoni et al in 1982, to the best of our knowledge, only 13 cases of MFH of the spleen have been reported in the English language literature in Medline. We herein report a rare case of primary splenic MFH accompanying with hepatic cyst in a 48-year-old Chi...

Cranial malignant fibrous histiocytomas are rare tumors. Most are hypervascular, destructive masses that are similar to other malignant lesions and to malignant fibrous histiocytomas found elsewhere in the body. We describe a myxoid malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the temporal bone, possibly of dural origin, with features that more closely resembled a meningioma at CT, MR imaging, and angiogr...
