Abstract:
Malignant fibrous histiocytoma is a sarcoma composed of malignant spindle and pleomorphic cells, which is characterized histologically by a radiating cartwheel or interwoven mat-like arrangement. Primary involvement of the retroperitoneum or kidney is rare. We report a case of malignant fibrous histiocytoma in a 57-year-old male who was managed by surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
