Abstract
- In adults, although malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) is the most frequent malignant soft tissue tumor. Primary malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the round ligament of the uterus is comparatively very rare. A patient presented with severe lower abdominal pain and a palpable pelvic mass in the lower abdomen. Emergency laparotomy revealed a 15 X 15 cm tumor located in the left round ligament and adhered with uterus and intestine. The patient underwent total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingectomy. The final diagnosis was based on the pathological report of the surgical specimen.
