摘要
Malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) is the most common subtype of sarcoma. It usually occurs in late adult life and frequently involves the extremities and retroperitoneum, but primary intra-abdominal MFH is rare. We report a 74-year-old male patient with a huge MFH originating from the jejunal mesentery. The clinical presentation and imaging studies, including the abdominal sonogram and CT scan, were all non-specific. The diagnosis was made on the basis of pathologic microscopic findings. Curative resection was achived, and the patient was asymptomatic without evidence of recurrence five months after the operation.
