Malignant Fibrous Histiocytoma of Left Spermatic Cord: A Postmortem Case Report

Abstract

Malignant fibrous histiocytoma or undifferentiated high grade pleomorphic sarcoma is a rare tumour of the spermatic cord. It presents as a painless swelling in the inguinal canal which is usually difficult to diagnose. The prognosis is poor if not detected early and treated promptly, therefore physicians need to be on the lookout for this tumour in any inguinal swelling in adults in the fifty years and above age group. We hereby present a case of a 53- year-old man that was never diagnosed to have this tumour until autopsy.
