“…There was a report that hilar or mediastinal lymph node metastasis is not usual [8], but the cases of lymph node metastasis were reported [7]. Approximately 20% of patients have an associated pleural effusion [11]. Our patient had neither lymph node metastasis nor pleural effusion.…”

Primary pulmonary malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) is very rare, so only a few imaging features have been reported. We report one case of rapidly growing primary pulmonary MFH mimicking a partially thrombosed pulmonary artery aneurysm and its radiologic findings, including multidetector row computed tomography (MDCT), conventional angiography, and fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography CT ([18F] FDG-PET/CT). On multiphasic MDCT, this mass mimicked a pulmonary artery aneurysm with partial thrombosis. However, pulmonary artery aneurysm was excluded and suggested as a hypervascular parenchymal mass by subsequent conventional angiography. On [18F] FDG-PET/CT, it was a highly metabolic mass, showing a maximal standard uptake value (SUV) 12.1. Although primary pulmonary MFH is very rare and has no specific imaging findings, our experience might be helpful to differentiate a hypervascular pulmonary mass.

“…Ipsilateral pleural effusion can occur in 20% of the patients [5], and endobronchial lesions have also been reported [6]. Without intending to make a generalized statement about FDG uptake in primary pulmonary MFH because it is a type of tumor that is rarely seen in the lungs, in our case, the SUVmax was 9.7.…”

Malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) cases are classified within the group of nonclassified sarcomas. The etiopathogenesis is unclear; however, MFH commonly develops in scar tissue and in areas exposed to radiation. MFH is the most common soft tissue sarcoma in adults and may be borne in the lungs, chest wall, mediastinum, or other tissues. Primary MFH of the lung constitutes less than 0.2% of all pulmonary neoplasms; thus, an optimal treatment strategy has not yet been elucidated. We aimed to report a case of MFH of the lung with subsequent treatment administration.

“… 1 The majority of MFH of the lung described presented with a solitary pulmonary mass or nodule. 2 To the best of our knowledge this is the first case to be reported with a tumor occupying the entire hemithorax. The final diagnosis is based on microscopic and immunohistochemical studies.…”

HighlightsLung sarcoma should not be excluded in young patients with progressive dyspnea.Radiological studies are extremely important for the early detection as well as the confirmation of the diagnosis of lung sarcoma.Early work up of progressive dyspnea especially in young healthy patients is vital for early diagnosis, thus definitive treatment.Patients with suspected primary malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the lung must be carefully evaluated to rule out a metastatic origin.
