title: Malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the spleen: report of a case and literature review.
abstract: There is a marked paucity of reports on malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) of the spleen in the literature, and there are no previous reports of its color Doppler sonographic (US) and contrast-enhanced US findings. We report on an 82-year-old male with splenic MFH (inflammatory subtype), with an emphasis on color Doppler and contrast-enhanced US findings.
