Article Abstract

Low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma (LGFMS) is a rare fibroblastic neoplasm with an indolent clinical course. It is a distinctive subclass of soft tissue sarcoma with metastasizing potential and sometimes a long interval between tumor presentation and metastasis. This case report describes a 60-year-old female with an unresectable pleural LGFMS initially misdiagnosed as malignant mesothelioma. Pleural LGFMS remains exceedingly rare, with only four prior cases reported. Given its histologically benign appearance, LGFMS poses diagnostic challenges and risks of local recurrence or metastasis. This case underscores the importance of accurate diagnosis using MUC4 and it explores endocrine therapy as a promising palliative option for unresectable LGFMS, contributing valuable insights into management strategies for this rare entity.

Aims: To investigate immunohistochemical expression of the E26 transformation-specific factors (ETS)-related gene () in a large number of soft tissue neoplasms using a tissue microarray technique.

Methods: 489 cases of soft tissue neoplasms, including benign and malignant entities, were collected from the files of the respective institutions and constructed into tissue microarrays. Tissue microarrays were stained for ERG immunohistochemistry using two antibodies, EP111 and EPR3864.

Rationale: Dedifferentiated liposarcoma (DDLPS) is a subtype of sarcoma that originates from atypical lipomatous tumor/well-differentiated liposarcoma and undergoes varying degrees of dedifferentiation. DDLPS can occur either concurrently with or after atypical lipomatous tumor/well-differentiated liposarcoma, with the dedifferentiated component predominantly consisting of high-grade sarcomas. Notably, only approximately 10% of DDLPS cases present as purely low-grade sarcomas.
