Low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma of the chest wall: a case report

We report the case of a 23-year-old female patient with a low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma involving the chest wall. The chest radiography and computed tomography scan showed a heterogeneous mass in the lower right hemithorax, with necrosis and calcification foci. Histological examination was suggestive of a leiomyoma but the immunohistochemical study proved to be a low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma. The clinical outcome of this patient was good, although the computed tomography scan showed signs of malignancy.
