  • Title: Completely wide resection of malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the chest wall; expect for long survival.
    Author: Shikada Y, Yoshino I, Fukuyama S, Kameyama T, Maehara Y.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Cardiovasc Surg; 2006 Apr; 12(2):141-4. PubMed ID: 16702939.
    Abstract:
    Malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) rarely occurs in the chest wall. A case of MFH originating from the chest wall is herein reported. We performed radical en-block resection of the whole chest wall together with the tumor and reconstructed it with Marlex mesh. There was no recurrence 4 years after operation. We consider radical en-block resection for MFH and reconstruction with Marlex mesh a safe operation and may provide a long-term survival.
