Abstract

Metastatic gastric tumors originating from malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) are rare. We herein report the case of a 75-year-old woman who underwent a distal gastrectomy for gastric metastasis of MFH, who was preoperatively diagnosed by an endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy.
