Abstract
|
|
|
|
Myxofibrosarcoma is one of the most common soft tissue tumors in elderly patients, mostly arising in the extremities, and rarely arising in the chest wall. A 53-year-old women presented with a painful chest wall mass in the manubrium. We excised the mass. The mass was located subdermally, but had infiltrated the underlying muscle layer, and was histologically diagnosed as an intermediate grade myxofibrosarcoma showing myxoid changes and hypercellularity. Here we report a rare case of chest wall myxofibrosarcoma and present a review of the literature.
