A Report of a Rare Case of Myxoinflammatory Fibroblastic Sarcoma

Myxoinflammatory fibroblastic sarcoma of the soft tissues is a rare low-grade tumor of uncertain origin that most often occurs on the extremities of adults The tumor predominantly involves the subcutaneous tissues of the hands and feet Despite being a rare neoplasm, owing to its varied histologic appearance, myxoinflammatory fibroblastic sarcoma should be differentiated from various benign and malignant soft-tissue lesions Myxoinflammatory fibroblastic sarcoma has been well described in pathology journals but not in the surgical literature We report a case of myxoinflammatory fibroblastic sarcoma in a 19 year old man with a plantar ulcer lesion in his left foot To our knowledge, this is the first reported case in the literature involving the epidermis (J Am Podiatr Med Assoc 100(6) 497-501, 2010)
