A 59-year-old male died of malignant fibrous histiocytoma. He had a history of asbestos exposure as a shipfitter in the Japanese Naval Shipyard and other shipyards for 45 years. Numerous asbestos bodies were detected in the autopsied lung and within the lesion. X-ray analysis of the asbestos fibers showed them to be crocidolite, a type of asbestos fiber commonly seen in association with mesothelioma and other types of cancer. This case adds malignant fibrous histiocytoma to the growing number of tumors that can be attributed etiologically to asbestos exposure.
一名59岁男性死于恶性纤维组织细胞瘤。他曾在日本海军造船厂及其他造船厂担任造船装配工，有45年石棉接触史。尸检发现肺及病变部位有大量石棉小体。对石棉纤维的X射线分析显示为青石棉，这是一种常见于间皮瘤和其他类型癌症的石棉纤维。该病例表明，恶性纤维组织细胞瘤是越来越多可在病因上归因于石棉接触的肿瘤之一。
