Malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the penis a case report and review of the literature

Abstract

Penile malignant fibrous histiocytoma is an extremely rare tumor. To the best of our knowledge, we present here the fifth primary malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the penis. The patient presented with lung metastasis which initially responded well to systemic chemotherapy with Adriamycin and Ifosfamide, but recurred soon after. The local lesion did not respond to chemotherapy and the patient had to undergo a palliative penectomy. The disease progressed rapidly and the patient died one year after the diagnosis.
