Implication

Supports considering lobectomy in select pulmonary MFH with early metastasis; leaves open need for prospective outcome data.

Structured PICO

Population

1 adult male (63 years old) with malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) of the lung invading the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th ribs.

Intervention

Left upper lobectomy with resection of the chest wall, followed by postoperative aggressive chemotherapy, extirpation of brain metastasis, CYVADIC therapy, and whole brain irradiation.

Outcome

Survival/follow-up status

Surgical treatment is the first choice for pulmonary MFH due to its poor prognosis, as demonstrated in this case with 16-month survival despite brain metastasis.
