Primary Malignant Fibrous Histiocytoma of the Liver

Abstract
|
|
|
The malignant fibrous histiocytoma(MFH) was first introduced in 1963 to refer to a group of soft-tissue sarcomas characterized by a storiform or cartwheel-like growth pattern and predominantly fibroblastic appearance, it was postulated that they
were
derived from histiocytes that could assume the appearance and function of fibroblasts. MFH has been recognized to be the most common sarcoma in the soft tissue of late adult life which involves the deep fascia or skeletal muscles of the
extremities
or
retroperitoneum and has been noted in other organs. But, it rarely arise in the liver.
The myxoid subtype of the MFH is characteristically a tumor of late adult life with the majority of cases occurring in person between the ages 50 and 70 and the better prognosis than other subtypes.
Typically the lesions are solitary multilobulated fleshy masses between 5 and 10cm in diameter and a translucent mucoid appearance with extensive hemorrhage at about 5% that they present clinically as fluctuate masses and are diagnoses as cystic
hematoma when first detected.
So, we report a case of histopathologically confirmed after surgical resection primary malignant fibrous histiocytoma-myxoid subtype of the liver at the age of 49 female patient and describe the clinical course, characteristic and pathologic
aspect
with
review the relate literatures.
