Abstract:
Malignant fibrous histiocytoma(MFH) is a high grade soft tissue sarcoma, commonly occur in the retroperitoneum, extremities, head and neck in the patient with old ages. But it is very uncommon that MFH primarily occurs in the lung, and uncommon in young ages. We experienced a young male patient with primary MFH of the lung. The patient had huge masses on both lungs which were diagnosed as MFH by thoracoscopy-guided wedge resection of mass, so we could not perform operative management. And we tried 6 cycles of chemotherapy using ifosfamide, doxorubicin, dacarbazine. After chemotherapy, masses still remained in spite of decreasing sizes.
