Sarcomas tend to spread to distant regions, recur locally, and exhibit various histological characteristics. They can also present differently in different areas of the body. Myxofibrosarcoma (MFS) is a typical soft-tissue sarcoma in elderly individuals, distinguished by the presence of both myxoid and fibrous tissue components. This classification might be based on its aggression, with low, middle, and high grades. We address a woman in her 50s who had spindle cell sarcoma measuring 25 x 20 cm on the anterior portion of her right thigh, along with an ulcer and discharge on top of it. The patient was evaluated with a computed tomography lower limb angiogram to look for the vasculature of the swelling. After a wide surgical excision of the mass followed by right anterolateral flap reconstruction, the patient was transferred to medical oncology for further management. The histopathological analysis revealed a grade 2 MFS. The patient has a substantial risk of morbidity and mortality due to the huge size of the sarcoma. This case report discusses the diagnosis and management of MFS, which requires integrated management involving the general surgery, vascular, and plastic surgery teams.
肉瘤易于扩散至远处、局部复发,并呈现出各种组织学特征。它们在身体的不同部位也可能表现各异。黏液纤维肉瘤(MFS)是老年人群中一种典型的软组织肉瘤,其特征是同时存在黏液样和纤维组织成分。这种分类可能基于其侵袭性,分为低、中、高分级。我们报告一名50多岁的女性,其右大腿前部有一个大小为25×20厘米的梭形细胞肉瘤,上面伴有溃疡和渗液。对该患者进行了下肢计算机断层血管造影检查,以查找肿块的血管分布情况。在对肿块进行广泛手术切除并随后进行右前外侧皮瓣重建后,患者被转至医学肿瘤学进行进一步治疗。组织病理学分析显示为2级MFS。由于肉瘤体积巨大,该患者有较高的发病和死亡风险。本病例报告讨论了MFS的诊断和治疗,这需要普通外科、血管外科和整形外科团队的综合管理。
