title: Primary intra-abdominal malignant fibrous histiocytoma. Case report and literature review.
abstract: Malignant fibrous histiocytoma is a pleomorphic soft tissues sarcoma usually found in the extremity and in the retroperitoneum. The primary intra-abdominal localization of this tumour is very rare and only thirty-five previous reports are present in the world medical literature. The Authors report a case of giant malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the mesentery, which is treated by surgical removal plus adjuvant chemotherapy.
