Six cases of hepatic sarcoma are reported: leiomyosarcoma in two, malignant fibrous histiocytoma in two malignant hemagiopericytoma in one and fibrosarcoma in one. In addition to the routine paraffin section and HE stain, immuno-histochemical studies with antibodies against vimentin, EMA, CK, S100, ACT, AAT, desmin, AFP, lysozyme and factor VIII and Masson trichrome staining and argyrophilia staining were done. AFP was negative in all 6 patients and the primary sarcoma was characterized by the absence of accompanying liver cirrhosis. The diagnosis, histogenesis and prognosis of primary liver sarcoma are discussed.

We present the case of a 67-year-old man with primary malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) of the diaphragm. He was admitted to our hospital with anorexia and loss of body weight. High serum levels of AST, ALT, ALP and gamma-GTP were observed. Several imaging studies disclosed a large tumor on the right side of the diaphragm to the right lobe of the liver. The entire tumor was resected, and histopathological examination of the specimen revealed the characteristics of MFH. MFH originating from the diaphragm is very rare, and we present the case of this patient in addition to a discussion of previous literature.
