Low-grade_fibromyxoid_sarcoma, abbreviated LGFMS, is an uncommon malignant fibroblastic/myofibroblastic tumour.

It is also known as hyalinizing spindle cell tumour. It should not be confused with myxofibrosarcoma.

General

  • Deep soft tissue.
  • Related to hyalinizing spindle cell tumour with giant collagen rosettes.[1]

Microscopic

Features:[2]

  • Myxoid stroma alternating with fibrogenic areas - key feature.
  • Low cellularity.
  • Spindle cells.
  • +/-Rosette of collagen with central hyaline core.[3]

Notes:

  • Few/absent mitoses.
