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 storiform-pleomorphic, 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.
