Malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) in the scapula can cause temporary liver dysfunction without metastases. Tumor removal resolved these paraneoplastic syndrome symptoms, suggesting an indirect tumor-induced mechanism.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Pathology
  • Hepatology

Background:

  • Malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) is a rare soft tissue sarcoma.
  • Paraneoplastic syndromes can occur with various malignancies, affecting distant organs.
  • Hepatic dysfunction in the absence of liver metastases is an uncommon presentation.

Observation:

  • A case of right scapula MFH is presented.
  • The patient developed fever, anemia, thrombocytosis, and hepatic dysfunction post-radiation therapy.
  • These laboratory abnormalities resolved rapidly after surgical tumor excision.

Findings:

  • The observed systemic abnormalities were directly linked to the presence of the MFH.
  • Complete tumor resection led to the immediate normalization of all laboratory parameters.

  • No evidence of distant metastases was detected at the 12-month follow-up.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights a potential paraneoplastic syndrome associated with MFH.
    • It suggests that MFH can indirectly induce systemic laboratory abnormalities.
    • Further research is needed to elucidate the exact mechanisms of this tumor-induced hepatic dysfunction.
