Abstract

|
|
|
Primary malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the lung is extremely rare. A 12-year-old child was admitted to the hospital due to an incidentally detected lung mass. A 2.5×2.5 cm sized mass located in the right lower lobe was seen on the chest X-ray, the chest computed tomogram and the positron emission tomogram. We resected the mass through a right lateral thoracotomy and the mass was revealed to be a malignant spindle cell neoplasm on the frozen section diagnosis. So, we performed lobectomy of the right lower lobe with systemic dissection of the mediastinal lymph nodes; the final histopathological diagnosis of the mass was malignant fibrous histiocytoma. The patient was discharged on postoperative day 7 and adjuvant chemotherapy was not applied. (Korean J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg 2007;40:786-788)
