Abstract
- Malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) occurs primarily in the extremities and trunk, however primary malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the alimentary tract, particularly of the jejunum, is uncommon. This case report presents a case of malignant fibrous histiocytoma as the primary lesion of the jejunum in a 42-year-old male patient with a 10-day history of melena. A small bowel tumor was resected without complication. The final diagnosis was based on the pathological report of the surgical specimen.
