title: Cardiac malignant fibrous histiocytoma metastasizing to the brain: development of multiple neoplastic cerebral aneurysms.
abstract: We report a case in which bilateral occipital brain metastases and neoplastic cerebral aneurysms developed from primary cardiac malignant fibrous histiocytoma. The origin of metastases was confirmed at autopsy. The clinical presentation, radiographic features, and autopsy findings are presented along with a histopathologic analysis of the tumor.
