myxofibrosarcoma, malignant mesenchymal tumor, soft-tissue sarcomaAbstract
Myxofibrosarcoma is a mesenchymal tumor typical of elderly patients and it has an infiltrative pattern mainly at local level, which fundamentally requires adequate characterization by nuclear magnetic resonance (MRI) and core needle biopsy (CNB), as well as a multidisciplinary team for its treatment. We present the case of an 85-year-old patient with a painless mass on the right thigh who was admitted to the Internal Medicine Unit for initial treatment of a condensing respiratory infection. Finally, after an extensive study, she was diagnosed with myxofibrosarcoma.
