title: [Malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the mediastinum associated with bilateral adrenal gland metastases--a case report].
abstract: A 55-year-old female underwent complete resection of left posterior mediastinal tumor and both adrenal gland tumors. Histological examination revealed malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) showing a storiform pattern. Her postoperative course was uneventful and well one year after the operation. We concluded the tumor arose from the mediastinum and metastasized to the bilateral adrenal glands. No other case was reported that primary MFH of the mediastinum with distant metastases was completely resected including metastatic lesions.
