“…Other sites for myxofibrosarcomas reported in the literature include head and neck region, pelvis, retroperitoneum or mediastinum (8%), and heart [4,5]. However, a primary myxofibrosarcoma with bone invasion was rarely reported [6,7]. In addition, the peak age incidence of myxofibrosarcomas was in the fifth to seventh decades with a male predominance [3,8].…”

Abstract:Myxofibrosarcoma or myxoid variant of malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) is one of the most common sarcomas in the extremities in adults and particularly in elderly patients. It is characterized by a high frequency of local recurrence. We report a patient with high grade myxofibrosarcoma infiltrating the striated muscle of the right forearm. On microscopic examination, the tumor lacked areas of necrosis and pronounced cellular pleomorphism. Immunohistochemically, the tumor cells showed intense reactivity to S-100 protein (PS 100) and discrete reactivity of desmin, CD34 and SMA. After surgery of the tumor, the patient received local radiotherapy and chemotherapy. One year after treatment, the patient has been alive without local recurrence or distant metastasis.

“…The most common sites for this tumor are the extremities, predominantly subcutaneous. Primary myxofibrosarcomas with bone invasion were rarely occurred, with no more than 15 previous cases worldwide being reported in the literature [5][6][7][8][9][10][11] . Five of these patients developed myxofibrosarcoma in a long bone of the extremities, with an average age of 53.2 years (range, 31 to 84).…”

“…The most frequent location in head and neck is the neck and parotid gland, followed by the scalp, face, anterior skull base and orbit, there are few reports in upper aerodigestive tract, lateral skull base and ears. [1,7,9,11] Their presence in oral cavity is extremely rare. There have been reports of predisposing factors such as history of recurrent trauma, surgery, radiation, fractures, osteonecrosis, Paget's disease, non-ossifying fibroma and fibrous dysplasia.…”
