A 65-year-old man presented with a tumor within the right cerebral hemisphere. Biopsy showed a pleomorphic neoplasm which was diagnosed as a malignant fibrous histiocytoma only after immunohistochemical and electron microscopic examination. Full clinical and radiological investigation, including total body CAT scanning, failed to reveal any other deposits, and thus it is believed to have arisen in the brain. It is emphasised that this diagnosis could not have been reached had only conventional histological techniques been available.
一名65岁男性患者，右侧大脑半球内出现一个肿瘤。活检显示为多形性肿瘤，仅在经过免疫组化和电子显微镜检查后才被诊断为恶性纤维组织细胞瘤。全面的临床和影像学检查，包括全身计算机断层扫描，均未发现其他转移灶，因此认为该肿瘤起源于脑部。需要强调的是，如果仅采用传统组织学技术，不可能得出这一诊断。
