We report the second case of a malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the large bowel. The neoplasm constituted an incidental finding during the diagnostic work-up for diverticulitis of the sigmoid colon. There was a massive abdominal recurrence of the tumor four months after colectomy, and the patient died nine months after the initial operation. The literature on fibroblastic sarcomas of the colon is also reviewed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
