title: [Malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the mesentery. Echographic and x-ray computed tomographic aspects. Apropos of a case].
abstract: We report one case of mesenteric malignant fibrous histiocytoma, demonstrated by pain, abdominal mass and hypoglycaemic faintness. Ultrasound showed an heterogeneous mass, with liquid areas surrounded with echogenic trabeculations. A percutaneous aspiration under ultrasound guidance of the liquid collections demonstrated sero-sanguineous material. A computed tomography showed the mass to involve the upper small bowel mesentery; organic hypoglycaemic series suggested a mesenchymal tumor, the histologic type of which was only known by post-mortem examination of the specimen.
