    Abstract:
    A case of malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the chest wall. A 56-year old man was admitted to the hospital with a complaint of showing abnormal shadow on chest X-ray. Chest X-ray and chest CT scan showed a calcified tumor of the chest wall. Histological diagnosis could not be made prior to the operation. Wide resection of the right chest wall containing the tumor and partial resection of the right lung were done. Malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) showing a striform-pleomorfic pattern was recognized histologically with resected specimen. MFH commonly arises in the soft tissues of the extremities, but rarely in those of the chest. This paper also presents a review of 38 reported cases of MFH originated from the chest wall.
