Low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma (LGFMS) is a rare tumor characterized by bland histological features and aggressive clinical course, it is a distinctive variant of fibrosarcoma with high metastasizing potential and sometimes a long interval between tumor presentation and metastasis, the most common anatomic locations of occurrence are the lower extremities, thorax, inguinal area, and upper limbs, Here, we present the case of a 29-year-old patient with a deceptively benign-appearing mass arising in the mediastinum that had been discovered on computed tomography, a biopsy under cervicotomy was performed and histopathological examination revealed low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma. In conclusion, LGFMS can arise in the mediastinum, and physicians should consider this entity as a differential diagnosis in the presence of such mass.
低度纤维黏液样肉瘤(LGFMS)是一种罕见肿瘤,其组织学特征平淡,但临床过程具有侵袭性。它是纤维肉瘤的一种独特变体,具有高转移潜能,有时肿瘤出现与转移之间间隔时间较长。最常见的发病解剖部位是下肢、胸部、腹股沟区和上肢。在此,我们报告一例29岁患者,其纵隔出现一个看似良性的肿块,通过计算机断层扫描发现,经颈部切开活检,组织病理学检查显示为低度纤维黏液样肉瘤。总之,LGFMS可发生于纵隔,医生在遇到此类肿块时应考虑将该实体作为鉴别诊断之一。
