title: Malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the broad ligament.
abstract: Malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the broad ligament origin is extremely rare. We report a case of a 64-year-old female with a broad ligament tumor mass, who underwent complete excision of the mass, total hysterectomy, and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Pathology showed a malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the broad ligament. The postoperative course was uneventful and no radiation or chemotherapy was given. She has been carefully monitored for 16 months and is without recurrence.
