UNLABELLED Solitary fibrous tumors are rare mesenchymal spindle cell neoplasms that are usually found in the pleura. The kidneys are an uncommon site and only few cases of renal solitary fibrous tumor exhibit malignant behavior metastasizing to the liver, lung, and bone through the hematogenous pathway.

Bone and soft tissue malignancies account for a small portion of brain metastases. In this review, we characterize their incidence, treatments, and prognosis. Most of the data in the literature is based on case reports and small case series. Less than 5% of brain metastases are from bone and soft tissue sarcomas, occurring most commonly in Ewing's sarcoma, malignant fibrous tumors, and osteosar...

The authors present a case of inflammatory malignant fibrous histiocytoma located in the left retroperitoneum. The tumor was resected enblock with kidney and suprarenal gland. During the resection the system of retractors called the pillars of Kocman was used which allowed wide exposure of the abdominal cavity.

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 ...

Sarcomas of the breast are uncommon, accounting for less than 1% of all primary malignancies. Among these tumors, malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) is very rare. One case of the MFH of the mammary gland is presented in this paper. A 20-year-old unmarried female presented with a left breast lump. Fine needle aspiration cytology was inconclusive.

Malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) can occur as a rare mesenchymal neoplasm of the deep structures of the head and neck region. An unusual case of MFH of the tongue is described in a 61-year-old male. The primary tumour measured 90 X 50 X 30 mm. Treatment consisted of hemiglossectomy in continuity with a supra-omohyoidal neck dissection. The patient has been free from disease for 2 years. The...
