“…Multiple synchronous tumors have also been reported [5], as well as multicentric MFH of the alimentary tract (cases 3 and 9), even if the associated lesions should be interpreted as metastatic implants rather than primary tumors [21, 27]. …”

“…Rarely this tumor is primarily encountered in organs such as the brain [13], lung [3, 14], heart [15], breast [16], pancreas [17], gallbladder [18], or the alimentary tract. Wright et al [1], in a review of the world medical literature, were able to collect 11 patients [1, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28]with proven histologic diagnosis of malignant fibrohistiocytic tumor of the alimentary tract, including a personal case with gastric tumor manifesting initially as a pulmonary metastasis (case 12). Up-to-date review of the literature, strictly concerning fully documented case-reports of malignant fibrous histiocytoma, has added only three more cases [2, 29], including that described above (table 1).…”

Background/Aim: We report on a case of primary malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the duodenum. Methods: Report of a case and review of the literature on the occurrence of this tumor in the alimentary tract. Results: The neoplasm was detected incidentally at the time of diagnostic workup for upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Curative surgery using the Whipple procedure was carried out with uneventful postoperative course; no evidence of liver metastases was detected during intraoperative ultrasonography. The patient died of diffuse metastatic liver disease 2 months after surgical resection. Up-to-date review of the literature has added only 3 cases to those previously reported, including that reported by us. Conclusions: The biological behavior of malignat fibrous histiocytomas is extremely aggressive and mainly conditioned by size and histological grading. The treatment of choice, whenever possible, is based on early and complete surgical excision of the tumor.

Background Undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS), also known as malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH), hardly originates from the colorectum. Case presentation We reported a 65-year-old female presented with UPS in the descending colon. Computed tomography (CT) revealed an irregularly thickened descending colon. On colonoscopy examination, an ulcerative tumour was identified. The patient received radical resection of the left colon and partial enterectomy. The resected tumor was ulcerative, 10 cm × 8 cm × 5 cm in size, and infiltrated the serosa layer. Postsurgical pathology showed that the tumor was high-graded UPS in the colon with large amounts of necrotic tissues. Conclusions UPS in the large intestine is a rare malignant tumor with a poor prognosis and unknown pathogenesis. The main treatment for UPS is early complete resection. Postsurgery adjuvant radiotherapy or chemotherapy can be attempted.

“…2 To our knowledge, only 19 cases of colorectal MFH have been reported before. 2,[8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25] We present a case of MFH of the ascending colon and discuss the features of this condition with reference to the literature. The patient underwent a laparotomy 30 days after his admission, which revealed a small quantity of serous ascites in the peritoneal cavity and a large mass in the ascending colon.…”

We report a rare case of primary malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) of the ascending colon. A 66-year-old man presented to our hospital with epigastralgia, and abdominal ultrasonography and computed tomography showed a large soft-tissue mass in the ascending colon. Barium enema and endoscopic examination showed a huge tumor in the ascending colon. At laparotomy, we found a tumor in the ascending colon and performed a right hemicolectomy with en bloc lymph node dissection. The resected specimen contained a tumor measuring 14.5 x 8.0 x 4.5 cm, the cut surface of which was yellowish. Based on histological and immunohistological studies, the tumor was diagnosed as MFH of the ascending colon. To our knowledge, only 20 cases of colorectal MFH, including our case, have been documented, which we review following this case report.
