  • Title: Primary malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the spleen--an extremely rare entity.
    Author: Mantas D, Karidis N, Papachristodoulou A.
    Journal: Acta Chir Belg; 2010; 110(5):558-60. PubMed ID: 21158336.
    Abstract:
    Malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) is a frequently occurring soft tissue tumour with aggressive biological behaviour. Primary MFH of the spleen, however, is an exceedingly rare occurrence. Herein, we report a case of such a neoplasm in a 66-year-old female. The tumour was well localised within the spleen and the patient remains alive and well 34 months after splenectomy without any adjuvant therapy. A brief discussion and review of the few cases of primary splenic MFH previously reported in the English language literature is included.
