Abstract:
Malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) is a tumor which most often develops in the soft tissues of the extremities and retroperitoneum, but very rarely originates in the mediastinum. We report a 71-year-old man who admitted with anterior mediastinal tumor and underwent surgical resection of tumor in our hospital. The mass was histologically confirmed as MFH.
