Abstract

Primary sarcomas of the lung are rare malignant neoplasms which have usually been classified as fibrosarcomas or leiomyosarcomas. Only 10 cases of primary malignant fibrous histiocytoma [MFH] of the lung have previously been reported in the literatures. The histomorphology of the MFH is marked by their extensive cellular variability, nuclear atypia, abnormal mitotic figures and storiform arrangement of the cells. Recently, we experienced a case of MFH, arising in the parenchyme of lung in 66-year-old male patient, and treated with surgical intervention. So we firstly reported it with review of literatures.
