Liver metastasis of malignant fibrous histiocytoma: A case report

Head and Neck Soft Tissue Sarcoma

“…Prognosis differs according to the morphologic subtypes of MFH ], Derbel F et al [Derberl F et al, 2010], reported a case of MFH in the neck with metastases to liver. Metastases from MFH in liver are rare, representing 1% of reported metastasis of MFH [Derbel F et al, 2010]. Metastasis occurs in 42% of cases.…”

“…Lung (82%) and lymph nodes (32%) metastases are most frequent [Derbel et al, 2010]. Factors that influence the rate of metastasis included depth, size and the inflammatory component of the tumour [Derbel F et al, 2010]. The myxoid type has a higher rate of local recurrence, with recurrence in approximately 50-60% of patients and with an overall risk of subsequent metastases at 20-35% [Marotta D et, al, 2009, Mentzel T et al, 2002.…”

Metastatis of Soft Tissue Sarcomas

“…3. Section in the mass in segments V and VI [26]. primary tumors in the extremities, they may arise from almost any histologic variant or primary site [13].…”

“…Pezzi et al reported that most metastases of MFH occurred in the lungs (90%), followed by bone (8%). However, liver metastases of this tumour are very rare (1%) [24] [26]. Liposarcoma has a documented tendency for spread to distant extrapulmonary sites other than regional lymph nodes [17,18,19].…”
