Low-grade myofibroblastic sarcoma is a rare malignant tumor that arises from mesenchymal tissue and affects the head (particularly the tongue and oral cavity) and neck. It is characterized by local recurrence, with metastases being uncommon. We present a 72-year-old man who initially complained of a painless and progressive mass in the right inguinal region and came for consultation, and a malignant tumor was suspected based on the clinical and pelvic MRI manifestations. The F-FDG PET/CT revealed that the multiple lesions were located in the mediastinum, retroperitoneum, pelvis, and inguinal lymph nodes; hence, lymphoma was considered to be a combination of the symptoms. However, the histology of the ultrasound-guided puncture indicated low-grade myofibroblastic sarcoma. The patient was next administered chemotherapy, but the lesions did not undergo remission.
低度恶性肌纤维母细胞肉瘤是一种罕见的恶性肿瘤,起源于间叶组织,主要累及头部(尤其是舌部和口腔)及颈部。其特点是局部复发,转移并不常见。我们报告一名72岁男性,最初主诉右侧腹股沟区有无痛性进行性肿物并前来咨询,根据临床及盆腔MRI表现怀疑为恶性肿瘤。F-FDG PET/CT显示多个病灶位于纵隔、腹膜后、盆腔及腹股沟淋巴结;因此,结合症状考虑为淋巴瘤。然而,超声引导下穿刺活检组织学检查提示为低度恶性肌纤维母细胞肉瘤。该患者随后接受化疗,但病灶未缓解。
