Abstract:
Malignant fibrous histiocytoma is a primitive mesenchymal tumor which seldom occurs in the genitourinary organs. Despite radical operation, prognosis is generally poor and seems not to be improved by chemotherapy or radiotherapy. We present a case of a malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the renal capsule. The tumor could be removed totally and no signs of metastases were found. Eight months later the patient was readmitted with recurrence of tumor and widespread metastases.
