ABSTRACT

El mixofibrosarcoma es un subtipo de sarcoma que comúnmente se presenta en las extremidades de personas ancianas. La presentación clínica no es característica y el aspecto histológico es altamente heterogéneo, lo que frecuentemente retrasa el diagnóstico o conduce a uno equivocado. Técnicas de histoquímica e inmunohistoquímica son mandatorias para establecer el diagnóstico de MFS. Presentamos el caso de un hombre de 57 años para ilustrar lo poco sugerente de este diagnóstico dada la presentación clínica. El manejo de este tumor es con cirugía, eventualmente radioterapia y seguimiento estricto.


Myxofibrosarcoma is a subtype of sarcoma commonly found in the extremities of elderly people. The clinical presentation is not characteristic and the histological aspect is highly heterogeneous, which often delays the diagnosis or leads to the wrong one. Histochemistry and immunohistochemistry techniques are required to establish the diagnosis of SFM. We present the case of a 57-year-old man to illustrate the unimpressive nature of this diagnosis given the clinical presentation. The management of this tumor is with surgery, eventually radiotherapy and strict follow-up.
