Huge deep fibrous histiocytoma arising from the sigmoid mesocolon

We report an extremely rare case of deep fibrous histiocytoma arising from the sigmoid mesocolon. A 63-year-old woman initially presented with lower abdominal pain. An image study showed a huge heterogeneous pelvic mass with bleeding. The patient was treated successfully by surgery. We review the literature and discuss the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management of deep fibrous histiocytoma.
