Malignant fibrous histiocytoma is a condition involving a tumor of the bone or soft tissues. The tumor often appears in the legs or arms, but it can develop in other parts of the body. The disease is the most common soft tissue cancer that is diagnosed in older adults, and is often diagnosed in people between the ages of 50 and 70. We present a case of giant cell malignant fibrohistiocytoma of the abdominal wall. A 77 year old woman was admitted for further evaluation and treatment of tumor in the right ingvinal region of the abdominal wall. She claimed that tumor have appeared 3 mounths earlier and it was characterized by rapid growth and tenderness. NMR demonstrated expansive heterogeneous mass, 18,6x16,2cm of diameter. We performed total extirpation of the tumor. Postoperative period was uncomplicated and she was discharged from the hospitaly in good condition. Pathohystological examination confirmed malignant fibrous histiocytoma. Depending on the stage of disease and the depth of invasion by the tumor, surgical resection is the treatment of choice. Radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy are other therapeutic modalities. Long term followup with regular chest X-rays and CT scans of the abdomen to detect tumor recurrence, metastasis and any lymph node involvement are mandatory.
