ABSTRACT

Objective. A case of malignant fibrous histiocytoma and literature review.
Material and methods. We present a case of a male patient who had a paratesticular tumor, underwent radical orchiectomy and the final diagnose was malignant fibrous histiocytoma.
Discussion. The paratesticular mesenquimatic tumors are classified in benign and malignant tumors. Within the malignant tumors is malignant fibrous histiocytoma fibrous malignant. This occurs in any group of age, but is infrequent in childhood. It represents up to 0.6% of the paratesticular tumors. Predominantly causes pain and frequently can be presented like consumption syndrome. They have its origin in the pluripotential mesenquimatic cells. The therapeutic procedure is surgery, with a rate of recurrence from 50 to 82%. They generally have extension to lung, liver, bone and bone marrow. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy do not have effect in patient’s outcome.
