    Abstract:
    Fibrous histiocytoma is non-epithelial malignant tumor mainly arising from soft tissue in extremities and body. Those derived from lung are rare. A 71-year-old female was admitted to our hospital because of an abnormal shadow on chest X-ray film. Preoperative diagnosis was not obtained by various examination. The tumor was located in right upper lobe (S2) and partial resection of right upper lobe was performed. Pathological diagnosis was fibrous histiocytoma of borderline malignancy. After the operation, adjuvant therapy was not done. The patient is doing well without recurrence and metastasis, during 4 years after the operation. However, careful follow-up should be necessary for long term.
