A 76-year-old man underwent high orchiectomy due to a painless tumor in the left inguinal region. Pathological diagnosis was malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) of the left spermatic cord. Because of positive surgical margins, additional resection of the left scrotal wall and left inguinal canal combined with retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy were performed, with the surgical margins negative. Adjuvant therapy was not administered. Eight years later he noticed a painful subcutaneous mass in the left inguinal region. CT showed local recurrence and metastases of MFH to mesenteric lymph nodes and the left adrenal gland. The tumor grew rapidly and the patient died 1 month after admission. Autopsy revealed local recurrence of MFH and metastases of MFH to liver, lung, left adrenal gland, bone and lymph nodes. Recurrence of MFH with an interval of 8 years is a rare event.
