title: Gastric metastasis of malignant fibrous histiocytoma diagnosed preoperatively by endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy: report of a case.

We herein report the case of a 75-year-old woman who underwent a distal gastrectomy for gastric metastasis of MFH, who was preoperatively diagnosed by an endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy.
