“…It is regarded as the most common soft tissue sarcoma of late adult life [2]. About 70% of the tumors arise from the soft tissue of the extremities and only 12-14% of the tumors occur in the retroperitoneum [2,3], The clinical characteristics of this tumor consist of an abdominal mass, tendency to local recurrence, paraneo plastic syndrome and a poor prognosis [4], We present 2 cases of retroperitoneal MFH.…”

We present 2 cases of malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) of the retroperitoneum. Only 12-14% of all MFH occur in the retroperitoneum. Both patients were operated with the diagnosis of a kidney tumor. The surgical exposure showed a tumor arising from the retroperitoneum, infiltrating or surrounding the kidney. We would like to emphasize that large tumors of the retroperitoneum which resemble kidney tumors can also arise from mesen-chymal tissue.

“…La ecografía es una prueba no invasiva sin riesgo de infección disponible en todos los hospitales que permite visualizar la presencia de hematoma por debajo de la fascia de Buck y, en ocasiones, objetivar la fractura cavernosa que es identificada como un área hipoecoica que altera la integridad de la túnica albugínea. La confirmación de esta solución de continuidad, especialmente cuando son pequeñas roturas, con frecuencia sólo se encuentra al alcance de ecografistas adiestrados lo que da lugar a la posibilidad de falsos negativos teniendo en cuenta que la incidencia de esta entidad es escasa (362,363). Permite realizar una monitorización de la resolución del hematoma y presenta una tasa de detección del 86% (351).…”
