Spontaneous regression of sarcoma is exceedingly rare. A 62-year-old male presented with myxofibrosarcoma of the thigh which regressed after open biopsy. Treatment strategy for this condition is not well-documented in the literature. In this report, we describe the case of a spontaneously regressed myxofibrosarcoma successfully treated by resection where the extent of the tumor was determined from the initial MRI. This case demonstrates that myxofibrosarcoma has the potential to regress spontaneously, and astute awareness of this phenomenon is necessary for appropriate management of this condition.
肉瘤的自发消退极为罕见。一名62岁男性因大腿黏液纤维肉瘤就诊,该肿瘤在开放活检后消退。文献中对这种情况的治疗策略记载不多。在本报告中,我们描述了一例经切除成功治疗的自发消退黏液纤维肉瘤病例,其肿瘤范围根据最初的磁共振成像(MRI)确定。该病例表明黏液纤维肉瘤有自发消退的可能,对这一现象保持敏锐认知对于妥善处理这种情况很有必要。
