“…Benign fibrous histiocytoma (BFH) was first described by Dahlin in 1978 [16]. It was controversial all the time in terms of the difference between non-ossifying fibroma (NOF) and BFH [5,17]. According to previous literatures, BFH was thought to afflict adults between the third and sixth decade, affecting the metaphysis of long bones and in some cases also sacrum, ileum, ribs, and spine.…”

“…Benign fibrous histiocytoma (BFH) is a rare bone tumor accounting approximately 1% of all benign bone tumors, commonly located in the meta-epiphysis and diaphysis of long bones, mostly in male and adult patients [1]. Spinal involvement is rather rare: to the best of our knowledge, only 19 cases have been previously described since 1979 [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12], [13], [14], [15]. Among the previous reports, almost all were involved in the posterior elements such as spinous process, lamina, transverse process, while total vertebral involvement was not found.…”

BackgroundBenign fibrous histiocytoma (BFH) is a rare bone tumor, extremely seldom in the spine.MethodsWe present a 52-year-old patient diagnosed with a BFH in the thoracic spine treated with total en bloc spondylectomy. A review of the published literature was also conducted.ResultsNon-ossifying fibroma (NOF) and BFH are named as one tumor called NOF/BFH. A total of 20 spinal BFHs have been previously reported, mainly involving the posterior elements. We present a BFH with total vertebral involvement. Curettage and excision are the main treatment options with limited recurrence.ConclusionsThis is the first total vertebral BFH up to now. Spinal BFH occupies rather low aggressiveness. With rather limited recurrence and malignant degeneration, surgical interventions seem enough for its management.

“…Spinal involvement from cervical to sacral vertebra is reported very rarely [2]. The main features of the tumor are abundant xanthomatous cells with foamy, translucent cytoplasm [5]. Histiocytic and xanthomatous cells are localized between the meshes of the fibroblastic network, which sometimes appears in a storiform pattern.…”

Surgical Treatment of Benign Fibrous Histiocytoma as a Form of Intraspinal Extradural Tumor at Lumbar Spine

A benign fibrous histiocytoma (BFH) is one of the fibrohistiocytic groups of soft-tissue tumors for which spinal involvement is extremely rare. To the best of our knowledge, most spine-originating BFHs are bone tumors. We report the first case of BFH occurring in the intraspinal extradural space on the lumbar spine. A 66-year-old female presented with severe claudication symptom. The preoperative magnetic resonance images showed a huge intraspinal, extradural, thecal-sac-compressing soft-tissue tumor that extended along the right L5 root to the neural foramen. The tumor was a relatively well-marginated, inhomogeneous soft-tissue mass with some fluid-containing cystic portions that were well enhanced by the gadolinium contrast dye. After a total facectectomy, the tumor was removed completely. The patient had a good neurological recovery without complications, and no recurrence was noted at the 6-month follow-up.

Benign fibrous histiocytoma of bone is rare, and this is the first report of the tumor arising from the sacrum. The descriptive histopathological picture makes the diagnosis more difficult as it resembles many benign and malignant myxoid tumors. In this case report, the diagnostic difficulties involved and a review of the literature in order to describe the optimal management of this condition, have been presented. The clinical presentation of this 18-year-old girl was that of low back ache, radiating along the right posterior leg, of 1 month’s duration. On the straight leg raising test, right-sided sciatic nerve compression was detected. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a large tumor involving and destroying sacral segments S₃–S₄, homogeneous in intensity and extending into the vertebral canal and the presacral space. There was no enhancement with gadolinium contrast. Core needle biopsy revealed fibrous histiocytoma. Excision through a posterior midline incision was performed taking care to preserve the S₁–S₂ sacral segments and also the sacral nerves. Additional cauterization with phenol was performed. Postoperatively, the patient had significant improvement in pain with no major residual neurological deficit.
