Abstract

Malignant fibrous histiocytoma is uncommon pleomorphic tumor of the soft tissue possibly arising from the histiocyte. We report on a 43-year-old man with malignant fibrous histocystoma of the right kidney. The chief complaint was nontender mass on the right flank, which recurred locally following radical nephrectomy and postoperative radiation.
