Abstract
A case of malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) of the gastrocolic ligament is presented. It appeared as a huge, thin walled cystic tumour in the upper abdominal cavity on CT. Barium studies showed splaying of the stomach and transverse colon by the mass. 1 year after resection of the cystic tumour, recurrence occurred at the greater curvature of the stomach and in the liver, with a cystic appearance similar to the primary tumour. To our knowledge, the CT appearance of primary cystic MFH of the gastrocolic ligament has not been previously documented.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
