Abstract
Primary and metastatic malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the alimentary tract is uncommon, even though it is the most frequently diagnosed malignant soft tissue tumor in adults. In this report, we describe a patient with a left gluteal malignant fibrous histiocytoma who had intermittent melena and hematochezia attributed to colon metastases, 1 yr after surgical removal of the gluteal sarcoma.
