[Malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the spermatic cord: a case report].
A case of malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the spermatic cord is reported. A 44-year-old man was admitted because of a painless, gradually enlarging mass in the left scrotum. Local tumor excision and subsequent radical inguinal orchidectomy was performed. The histological diagnosis was malignant fibrous histiocytoma. There were no signs of recurrence or metastasis 8 months after the operation. Malignant fibrous histiocytoma in the spermatic cord is rare. We reviewed 34 previously reported cases. The rate of local recurrence and distant metastasis are 34.5% and 17.2%, respectively.
