Myxofibrosarcoma (MFS) also known as myxoid variant of malignant fibrous histocytoma is one of the most common soft tissue sarcomas of the extremities in adult and elderly patients with rare occurrences in head and neck region. Low-grade MFS is unusual among low-grade sarcomas because it often recurs relentlessly and multiplies despite wide local resection with gross negative margins. We report a case of extreme rarity and a tumour of aggressive nature in the maxillary sinus, which presented with non-specific sinonasal symptoms and we present a review of the radiological and histopathological characteristics of this rare tumour and recent evidence of management.
黏液纤维肉瘤(MFS),也称为恶性纤维组织细胞瘤的黏液样变体,是成人和老年患者四肢最常见的软组织肉瘤之一,在头颈部区域罕见。低级别黏液纤维肉瘤在低级别肉瘤中并不常见,因为尽管进行了切缘阴性的广泛局部切除,它仍常常顽固复发并转移。我们报告了一例极为罕见的、发生于上颌窦的侵袭性肿瘤病例,该病例表现为非特异性鼻窦症状,我们还对这种罕见肿瘤的放射学和组织病理学特征以及最新的治疗证据进行了综述。
