This case highlights a rare presentation of malignant fibrous histiocytoma with adrenal metastasis following low-dose radiation.
Raises awareness of delayed radiation-induced sarcomas; hypothesis-generating for adrenal metastasis patterns but does not change practice.
A 29-year-old male presented with an aggressive malignant fibrous histiocytoma of his leg 14 years after he had received low-dose radiation to the area for a benign indication. The other unusual feature of this case was the large unilateral adrenal metastasis. We describe this very rare presentation of sarcoma and briefly review the relevant literature.
