Malignant fibrous histiocytoma at the site of a total hip replacement: review of the literature and case report
1997
Tumors developing in association with metallic implants are being reported with increasing frequency in the orthopedic literature. The authors report the tenth case of malignant fibrous histiocytoma associated with a total hip replacement. The diagnosis was made during an evaluation for rapid radiographic osteolysis surrounding the femoral component detected less than 1 year after revision of a hemiarthroplasty to a total hip replacement. The short latency period and aggressiveness of this tumor mimicking rapid osteolysis prompted a review of the literature, etiology and significance of implant-associated malignant fibrous histiocytoma.
