Malignant fibrous histiocytoma is an uncommon soft‐tissue sarcoma. Patients with malignant fibrous histiocytoma may present with unusual clinical findings and an apparent association with malignant hematopoietic disease has been reported. We describe a patient in whom a diagnosis of chronic lymphocytic leukemia was made simultaneously with discovery of a large, retroperitoneal malignant fibrous histiocytoma. Following surgical debulking of the tumor, the patient's blood and bone marrow findings returned to normal.
