Myxofibrosarcoma
Name: |
Myxofibrosarcoma
|
Description: |
A rare soft tissue sarcoma characterized by a malignant, fibroblastic lesion with variably myxoid stroma, pleomorphism, and a distinctively curvilinear vascular pattern. The majority of tumors arise in the limbs including the limb girdles, more often in dermal/subcutaneous tissues than in the underlying fascia and skeletal muscle, and usually present as a slowly growing, painless mass. Depth of the lesion and tumor grade do not influence the high rate of local recurrence, while the percentage of metastasis and tumor-associated mortality are much higher in deep-seated and high-grade neoplasms.
