A case of primary malignant fibrous histiocytoma(MFH) of the lung occurring in a 62-year-old man is presented. After preoperative bronchial blushing and washing cytologic diagnosis of poorly differentiated carcinoma, surgical resection and lymph nodes dissection were performed. Subsequent histologic examination revealed a primary MFH. The diagnosis was confirmed by electron microscopic and immunohistochemical examinations. The review of the bronchial brushing and washing cytologic features disclosed many bipolar and a few unipolar spindle tumor cells with a "comel" configuration, mainly single cells, but also forming loose clusters. The nuclei were elongated and hyperchromatic and contained one or more irregular nucleoli. Scattered bizarre, multinucleated tumor giant cells were also present.

Malignant fibrous histiocytoma(MFH) is relatively rare in the oro-maxillofacial region, particularly in the oral cavity. MFH usually arise in the extremities, the thigh being the most common site. The incidence of malignant fibrous histiocytoma in bones is rather low compared with that in soft tissues. MFH is predominant in the 40s and 50s. Histologically, the lesion are said to show high cellularity with fibrous stroma, cellular and nuclear pleomorphism, an admixture of fibroblast-like spindle cells which tend to be arranged in whorls or cartwheel or storiform patterns, rounded mononuclear cells and multinucleated giant cells. The cells frequently have abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm which has a foamy or vesicular appearance. Treatment consists of varying combinations of radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and surgery. We have observed a case of malignant fibrous histiocytoma occured in the right maxilla of 32-year-old woman.

A 45-year old woman with congestive heart failure due to left atrial tumor was operated on. Three tumor masses arising from posterior wall, atrial septum, anterior portion of mitral valve were resected. Pathological diagnosis was malignant fibrous histiocytoma [MFH]. Above one case and sixteen previous reports are reviewed. Eleven cases out of 17 were females. The tumors all originated primarily in the left atrium and 8 had distant metastases. The metastatic sites are lung [4 cases], brain [2 cases], liver, jejunum, cervix and pleura etc. Careful pathologic study is necessary to differentiate the uniformly fatal MFH of the heart from the more common benign atrial myxoma. The treatment modalities are surgical resection, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy & the prognosis of intracardiac MFH is poor. We underwent partial resection of left atrial MFH and obtained symptom relief and patient still alive 7 months post-operatively in state of NYHA class II.

목적 : 거대 세포종이 방사선 조사 없이 악성 전환하는 것은 매우 드문 경우로 저자들이 경험한 4례를 분석하여, 흔하지 않은 악성 전환된 거대 세포종의 진단과 치료의 방침을 제시하는데 도움이 되고자 한다. 대상 및 방법 : 1985년 9월부터 2001년 1월까지 본원 정형외과에 내원하여, 수술적 치료를 시행했던 거대 세포종 112례 중 방사선 조사 없이 악성화한 4례를 대상으로 하였으며, 악성전환 후 평균 추시 기간은 2.4년(최저 1.3년, 최고 4년)이었다. 결과 : 거대 세포종의 진단 후 악성 전환 때까지의 기간은 평균 6.9년(최저 2.2년, 최고 13.5년)이었고, 근위 상완부 연부 조직, 근위 대퇴골, 원위 대퇴골, 근위 경골에 각각 1례씩 발생하였다. 3례에서는 골 육종으로, 1례에서는 악성 섬유성 조직구종으로 악성 전환이 일어났으며, 국소 재발은 1례, 폐 전이는 골 육종으로 악성 전환한 3례에서 모두 관찰되었다. 결론 : 방사선 조사 없이 속발한 거대 세포종의 악성 전환을 진단하기 위해서는 병리 조직의 철저한 채취가 매우 중요한 요소라 사료되며, 방사선 소견상 악성 전환이 의심될 때는 부적절한 절제술을 시행하기보다는 절개 생검을 먼저 시행한 후 치료 방침을 정해야 할 것으로 사료된다.

Malignant fibrous histiocytoma(MFH) is the malignant part of mesenchymal cell-originated tumor, which is supposed that the tumor is presented various histologic features consisted of fibrosarcomatic and histiocytic portions. When the tumor is arisen in the head and neck region, the most affected sites are the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses, and secondly the maxillary alveolar bone is occasionally influenced. Therefore, MFH can readily involve the adjacent alveolar bone. The treatment of MFH in the head and neck is various, that is, the involved sites and the differentiation of tumor must be considered when the tumor is treated. The treatment protocols are subjected to general ones of soft tissue sarcoma, and simple or combination therapy is used in the surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy. So, we report a clinical case of chemotherapy involving intraarterial chemotherapy, and surgery of malignant fibrous histiocytoma(MFH) in the maxilla, with review of the literature.

Purpose: Malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) is mainly a soft tissue sarcoma containing fibroblast-like cells and histiocytic cells. MFH in bone accounts for 5% of all malignant bone tumors. MFH of the maxilla is extremely rare and difficult to diagnose due to its scarcity. Treatment mainstay is a complete surgical excision. Radiation therapy is also available when surgery alone is incomplete. Prognosis is not clear but can be devastating. Authors report one case of MFH developed in the maxilla. Methods: A 24-year-old man firstly diagnosed as fibrous dysplasia based on CT findings. Considering facial contour, partial excision was done. But pathology report confirmed malignant fibrous histiocytoma and secondary wide excision was done including zygoma and grossly all affected area. After surgery, radiation therapy was continued. Results: There are no evidence of tumor recurrence after clinical and radiological treatment. Conclusion: MFH of maxilla is very rare and this can leads to misdiagnosis in many clinicians. Surgeon should differentiate this disease from fibrous dysplasia and pathology and MRI are accurate methods for diagnosis of MFH.

A 62-year-old male was admitted for evaluation of a mass shadow on chest film. Chest PA showed $7{\times}5cm$ lobulated homogenous mass in right upper medial area of lung. On chest computed tomography, there was a large irregularly lobulated mass with central necrotic low density area in apical segment of right upper lobe. Right upper lobectomy of the lung was performed. Partial adhesion to parietal pleura of posterior mediastinum and severe adhesion to right upper apicoposterior segment was found during the operation. Microscopic and ultrastructural studies(including immunocytochemical stains) of the mass revealed malignant fibrous histiocytoma.

The malignant fibrous histiocytoma was the most common soft tissue sarcoma in late life adult. It was first described in 1964 by 0' Brien and Stout. It's histiogenesis had been considered to be of histiocytic origin. It Involves the extremities, retroperitoneum and trunk. It usually metastasizes to the lung. but primary lung lesion is extremly rare and it's prognosis was poor. We have experienced a case of MFR, which was confirmed by open lung biopsy. So we report a case of MFR of the lung with review of literature.

67세 남자환자가 하지의 악성섬유조직구종으로 진단받고 광범위 절제술 후 방사선치료를 받는 동안 연쇄구균독소충격증후군이 발생하여 그 예를 소개하고자 한다. 환자는 수술 후 증감하는 부종이 있어 약 1개월간 비스테로이드소염제를 복용하였다. 환자는 C형 간염보균자였으며, 당뇨, 고혈압의 과거력이 있었다. 환자는 수술 후 방사선치료를 계획하여, 주 5회 조사하여 32.4 Gy를 치료받았다. 이틀간의 주말 치료중단이후 갑자기 방사선치료 받은 우측 대퇴부에 홍반성 염증이 발생하였고, 열, 오한, 소변감소증이 동반되었다. 환자는 즉시 감염내과에 의뢰되었고, 독소충격증후군이 의심되어 즉시 입원하였다. 입원당시 환자는 저혈압, 소변감소증, 변비, 비정상적인 신기능 및 간기능 소견을 보였다. 환자의 혈액 배양 결과 스트렙토콕쿠스 피오게네스균(Streptococcus pyogenes)이 검출되었다. 환자는 연쇄구균독소충격증후군으로 진단받고 적절한 항생제치료와 수액공급을 받았다. 연쇄구균독소충격증후군은 생명을 위협하는 종양학적 응급상황으로 즉각적인 처치가 필요하다. 본 예의 환자는 C형 간염보균, 수술 후 증감되는 부종, 지속적인 비스테로이드소염제 복용과 방사선치료가 연쇄구균독소충격증후군을 일으킨 인자들로 생각되어진다.

목적: 연조직종양의 조직 성분을 자기공명영상으로 평가하는데 MEDIC과 지방억제 T2 영상을 비교하여 더 나은 검사방법을 선택하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 병리조직학적으로 진단된 연조직종양 10예 (신경집종 3예, 혈관종 2예, 지방종 1예, 혈관각화종 1예, 윤활막육종 1예, 지방육종 1예 그리고 악성섬유조직구종 1예)에서 25 조직 성분 (혈관 5예, 신경 4예, 섬유성 4예, 과세포성 4예, 출혈성괴사 2예, 낭성 2예, 지방성 2예, 점액버팀질 1예, 그리고 혈전 1예)을 선택하였다. 병리조직학적 조직 성분과 일치하는 동일 단면상을 가진 MEDIC과 지방억제 T2영상에 동일한 크기의 관심영역을 그려 불균질치를 얻었다. 불균질치는 영상의 불균질성을 나타내는 표준편차 값을 관심영역에서 얻은 신호강도 평균값으로 나눈 값으로 하였다. 결과: 25 조직 성분의 불균질치는 MEDIC 보다 지방억제 T2영상에서 높게 나타났다 (p < .001). 결론: MEDIC 영상은 불균질치가 현저히 낮으므로, 자기공명영상으로 연조직종양의 조직 성분을 평가하는데 지방억제 T2영상 보다 MEDIC 영상이 더 유용할 것으로 사료된다.
