Key result
Radical nephrectomy reveals extremely rare primary renal malignant fibrous histiocytoma.
Why the study?
Primary renal Malignant Fibrous Histiocytoma is extremely rare and usually diagnosed on histopathology with immunohistochemistry.
Case Report (n=1)
Primary renal Malignant Fibrous Histiocytoma is an extremely rare condition that requires histopathology and immunohistochemistry for accurate diagnosis.
Alerts clinicians to rare sarcomas in atypical renal masses; leaves open evidence-based management strategies.
Malignant Fibrous Histiocytoma (MFH) usually arises from the extremities with the retroperitoneum being the second most common site. We present the case report of a 58-year-old man presenting with fever and was detected to have a renal mass on evaluation. He underwent a radical nephrectomy with a preoperative diagnosis of renal cell carcinoma. But the final histopathological report was MFH. Primary renal MFH is extremely rare and is usually diagnosed on histopathology with the aid of immunohistochemistry.

Gregory Pathrose (2015) conducted a case report in Malignant Fibrous Histiocytoma of the Kidney (n=1). Radical nephrectomy was evaluated on Histopathological diagnosis. Radical nephrectomy of a renal mass in a 58-year-old man revealed primary renal Malignant Fibrous Histiocytoma, an extremely rare condition diagnosed via histopathology and immunohistochemistry.
