Abstract:
Malignant fibrous histiocytoma is a predominant pleomorphic sarcoma usually occurring in the deep soft tissue of adults. The tumor commonly occurs in the extremities or in the retroperitoneum. We report a case of malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the paratesticular tissue. A 59 year old man presented with a 7 month history of a painless right upper scrotal mass. Radical orchiectomy with high ligation of the spermatic cord and wide excision of surrounding tissue was performed and then he was received external beam radiation to the right inguinal area and scrotum. He was well 15 months later with no evidence of local recurrence or metastases at follow up study.
