Low-Grade Fibromyxoid Sarcoma of the Renal Pelvis: First Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Sarcomas of the genitourinary tract are quite rare, accounting for 2.1% of all soft tissue sarcomas and have a poor prognosis. Kidney sarcomas are quite rare, representing 1-3% of malignant renal cases. Low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma (LGFS) of the kidney is an exceedingly uncommon, indolent but metastasizing soft tissue sarcoma with deceptively benign-appearing histological features. The estimated 5-year overall survival seems to be over 90%, but very late local relapses and distant metastasis may occur, which underlines the need for a long-term follow-up. We present a case of a 48-year-old male patient with a LGFS located on the renal pelvis. This is probably the first report of LGFS arising from the renal pelvis.

BACKGROUND Low grade fibromyxoid sarcomas (LGFMS) are very rarely seen. They commonly arise from deep soft tissues of the lower extremities. Very few cases of intra-abdominal location have been reported. CASE PRESENTATION We report a 37 year old man who presented with an abdominal mass and dragging pain. Pre-operative imaging suggested the possibility of a subcapsular hemangioma of liver. C...

We report the unusual cardiac localization of a primary low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma of the right ventricle in a 57-year-old woman. Histological examination revealed a prevalent myxoid appearance with whorling growth pattern of small or spindle cells with bland features alternating with rare more collagenous hypocellular areas with rare atypical cells. Genomic polymerase chain reaction of geno...
متن کاملNeurofibromatosis Type 1 and Recurrent Metastatic Low-Grade Fibromyxoid Sarcoma: Case Report about a Rare Association
Neurofibromatosis type 1 is the most frequent phacomytosis. Patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) have a high risk to develop benign or malignant tumors of neurogenic or non-neurogenic origin. The association of (NF1) to low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma (LGFMS) is very rare. These tumors rarely develop at the skull and have a high incidence of local recurrence and distant metastasis. We rep...
