Pathology: Myxofibrosarcoma - An Unusual Presentation in a Young Patient

Myxofibrosarcoma, a low-grade malignant mesenchymal tumor is the myxoid variant of malignant fibrous histiocytoma. It is most commonly seen in the extremities. A primary myxofibrosarcoma is extremely uncommon in young adults. We report a rare case of a 35-year-old female patient with a progressively enlarging soft tissue mass in the gluteal region in whom pathological examination of the resected mass revealed the classic diagnostic features of a low-grade myxofibrosarcoma. The subsequent clinico-radiological examination did not reveal evidence of malignancy in any other location. This case is reported for its rarity of occurrence in the young patient.
