Metastatic Malignant Fibrous Histiocytoma Infiltrating Sigmoid Colon: A Case Diagnosed With the Help of 18F-FDG PET/CT

Clin Nucl Med. 2016 Apr;41(4):338-40. doi: 10.1097/RLU.0000000000001088.

Abstract

Metastatic malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) in the colon is extremely rare, although MFH is one of the most common soft tissue sarcomas in adults. We report the case of a 45-year-old woman with metastatic MFH in the sigmoid colon, descending colon, and right lung with FDG PET/CT findings.
