We report a new case of primary
malignant fibrous histiocytoma
of the jejunum.
Malignant fibrous histiocytoma
(
MFH
) occurs most commonly in the extremities and trunk, but rarely in visceral organs. However, only eight cases of primary tumours involving the small intestine, including the present, have been described. This case report documents the appearance of
malignant fibrous histiocytoma
as a primary lesion of the intestinal wall in a patient with a 2-month history of
dyspepsia
, weight loss and unspecific abdominal pain. The final diagnosis was based on the pathological report of the surgical specimen. Emphasis is placed on the clinical signs, radiological studies and pathological findings. The literature on
MFH
of the jejunum is also reviewed.
Malignant fibrous histiocytoma
is considered an aggressive tumour, and the treatment of choice is complete surgical excision. Adjuvant chemotherapy or radiation is recommended mainly in those patients in whom there is vascular or lymphatic infiltration.

Malignant fibrous histiocytoma
occurs most commonly in the extremities and trunk, but rarely in the visceral organs.
Malignant fibrous histiocytoma
of the small intestine is an extremely rare condition. To our knowledge, only ten cases of primary tumors involving the small intestine have been described up to now. Among them only one case has been reported to lead to intussusception. This case report documents the appearance of a storiform-pleomorphic type primary
malignant fibrous histiocytoma
of the ileum, which led to intussusception, in a 58-year-old man with a 3-month history of
dyspepsia
, weight loss, general fatigue, and nonspecific abdominal pain. The patient was well with no sign of disease at 8 months after surgery. The clinical and pathologic characteristics of
malignant fibrous histiocytoma
of the small intestine as found in the literature are also reviewed.
