Abstract
Myxofi brosarcoma is one of the rare soft tissue sarcomas. We present a case of
a 65-year-old male having large soft tissue mass over right upper arm associated
with surface ulceration. On histopathological study tumor was diagnosed as
myxofi brosarcoma – high grade according to modifi ed FNCLCC grading system.
Like many other tumors of connective tissue, soft tissue sarcoma exhibits
high recurrence. In our case, tumor showed features of high grade with local
recurrence, large size; however, no evidence of metastasis was noted. For this
unpredictable clinical behavior, we are presenting this case.
