Malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the spermatic cord.
We report a case of malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the spermatic cord and review 11 previously reported cases. Radical orchiectomy along with wide local excision is the treatment of choice. The rate of local recurrences and distant metastases is 33 per cent (4 of 12 cases) and the 5-year survival rate is 57 per cent (4 of 7 cases).
