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. Biopsy revealed the diagnosis of malignant phyl...

Primary malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) is a rare and biologically aggressive tumor. Differential diagnosis must include cystic neoplasms of the pancreas (mucinous and serous cystoadenoma or cystocarcinoma), cystic lymphangioma or mesothelioma and retroperitoneal haematoma. Making the right diagnosis preoperatively may be often difficult, but MFH may be suspected when a huge retroperitonea...

malignant fibrous histiocytoma (mfh) is the most common soft tissue sarcoma of late adult life and may also arise as a primary tumor in bone. it is a rare condition that constitutes less than 1% of the malignant tumors of bone and commonly occurs in the mathaphysis of long bones of extremities such as the femur and tibia. the occurrence in the head and neck region is very rare. mfh of the jaws ...

Malignant Fibrous Histiocytoma (MFH) usually arises from the extremities with the retroperitoneum being the second most common site. We present the case report of a 58-year-old man presenting with fever and was detected to have a renal mass on evaluation. He underwent a radical nephrectomy with a preoperative diagnosis of renal cell carcinoma. But the final histopathological report was MFH. Pri...

Case Description- A pigeon with an abnormal mass on right wing was referred to the Veterinary Clinic of Shahid Bahonar University of Kerman. Treatment and Outcome- The mass was removed surgically and histopathologic examination was done. Microscopic findings revealed a stori-form pattern of atypical and pleomorphic spindle-shape tumor cells with histiocytes and too many thick wall capillari...

Primary malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) of the lung is a very rare neoplasm that usually presents as a parenchymal mass. Here we report an unusual case of primary MFH of the bronchus, showing relatively benign clinical features. We performed a palliative resection via flexible bronchoscopy, using a polypectomy snare. The patient has survived for over 2 years after being diagnosed with an e...

We describe a case of intracranial malignant fibrous histiocytoma which had infiltrated pons, cerebellum and basal surface of left temporal lobe without any visible mass. The patient presented with a sudden loss of consciousness and vomiting. Clinical findings, laboratory tests, imaging and examination of the cerebrospinal fluid tended to establish the diagnosis of an infectious condition than ...

Malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) cases are classified within the group of nonclassified sarcomas. The etiopathogenesis is unclear; however, MFH commonly develops in scar tissue and in areas exposed to radiation. MFH is the most common soft tissue sarcoma in adults and may be borne in the lungs, chest wall, mediastinum, or other tissues. Primary MFH of the lung constitutes less than 0.2% of ...

Malignant Fibrous Histiocytoma (MFH) is the most common soft-tissue sarcoma which predominantly surfaces in the retro-peritoneum and extremity. MFH of lung is a very rare condition. The diagnosis is essentially through histologic examination. However, the invasion of the chest wall or other organs might help establish the malignant nature.We report a case of a 77-year-old man who had been prese...

Unlike primary pancreatic carcinoma, metastases to the pancreas are rare and their resection may be performed as a palliative treatment due to poorly defined outcome. We herein present an extremely rare case of pancreatic metastases of malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy with tumor-free survival within postoperative 35-month follow-up. Pancreatic resection fo...
