[Malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the scrotal wall--a case report]

The case involves a 64-year-old male who was found to have a gradually enlarging tumor which was responsible for a slight tenderness in his scrotum for a month. Tumor excision was performed, and the tumor size was found to be 3 X 2 X 2 cm. A histologic examination of this tumor revealed a malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the scrotal wall. The patient received UFT chemotherapy. Five months after the excision, the patient was rehospitalized with a local recurrence in the scrotum. After a second operation, the patient was treated with radiotherapy.
