Abstract
|
|
|
Malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) is the most common soft tissue sarcoma of late
adult life. This tumor occurs principally as a mass on an extremity or in the abdominal
cavity or retroperitoneum of adult but primary pulmonary MFH is rare. MFH may be
subclassified into storiformpleomorphic, myxoid, giant cell, inflammatory, and angiomatoid
type and the prognosis is no different among the histologic subtypes.
We experienced one patient who was consistent with primary MFH of the lung. The
patient complained dyspnea and intermittent hemoptysis and showed bilateral suprahilar
mass on simple chest film and chest CT. Histological findings by open lung biopsy was
storiform-pleomorphic type and individual cells showed histiocyte-like and fibroblast-like
appearance.
