Abstract

Malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) is the most common soft tissue sarcoma of adults, mostly distributed in the thigh, buttock and groin (46%) and presents rarely in the gastrointestinal tract, classified as gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). MFH is regarded as a diagnosis of exclusion, essentially synonymous with an undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma. The recent report presents an 80-year-old man with clinical manifestations of rectal bleeding and final diagnosis of MFH of rectum. It seems that radical resection and adjuvant radiation is important in the management strategy of a patient with such a rare rectal tumor.
