Abstract
Intussusception secondary to metastatic sarcoma is an unusual cause of small bowel obstruction. When a patient who has no history of a previous laparotomy, and has a known malignancy which metastasized hematogeβnously, presents with small bowel obstruction, the diagnosis of intussusception should be considered. The patient should be evaluated and treated accordingly. Β© 1993 WileyβLiss, Inc.

In view of this long-term survival and two similar prior reports of long-term survival after aggressive treatment, the goal of therapy for metastatic MFH must be rec
## RESULTS. LN-2 immunoreactivity did not distinguish between dermatofibroma Pittsford, New York. and dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans, both of which showed weak immunoreactivity. In marked contrast, 90% of cases of malignant fibrous histiocytoma showed strong staining for LN-2, whereas the vast m
