Low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma (LGFMS) is a rare fibroblastic neoplasm with an indolent clinical course. It is a distinctive subclass of soft tissue sarcoma with metastasizing potential and sometimes a long interval between tumor presentation and metastasis. This case report describes a 60-year-old female with an unresectable pleural LGFMS initially misdiagnosed as malignant mesothelioma. Pleural LGFMS remains exceedingly rare, with only four prior cases reported. Given its histologically benign appearance, LGFMS poses diagnostic challenges and risks of local recurrence or metastasis. This case underscores the importance of accurate diagnosis using MUC4 and it explores endocrine therapy as a promising palliative option for unresectable LGFMS, contributing valuable insights into management strategies for this rare entity.
低度纤维黏液样肉瘤(LGFMS)是一种临床病程进展缓慢的罕见纤维母细胞性肿瘤。它是软组织肉瘤的一个独特亚类,具有转移潜能,且肿瘤出现与转移之间有时间隔较长。本病例报告描述了一名60岁女性,患有无法切除的胸膜LGFMS,最初被误诊为恶性间皮瘤。胸膜LGFMS仍然极为罕见,此前仅报道过4例。鉴于其组织学上的良性外观,LGFMS带来了诊断挑战以及局部复发或转移的风险。本病例强调了使用MUC4进行准确诊断的重要性,并探讨了内分泌治疗作为无法切除的LGFMS一种有前景的姑息治疗选择,为这种罕见疾病的管理策略提供了有价值的见解。
