Cerebral Metastases from Malignant Fibrous Histiocytoma of Bone

[摘要] Four patients with malignant fibrous histiocytoma of bone (MFH-B) metastasizing to brain are reported. In two cases, signsof cerebral involvement developed between 4 and 28 months after diagnosis. Both patients had known pulmonary or bonymetastases. As a consequence of this experience, two further patients were subsequently identified, one with a definitecerebral metastasis and one who had an asymptomatic supratentorial lesion, possibly metastatic. It is suggested that patientswith MFH-B and widespread metastatic disease at presentation or developing within a short interval should undergocerebral imaging.
