Abstract EN
Myxoinflammatory fibroblastic sarcoma (MIFS) is a rare, painless, and intermediate (rarely metastasizing) fibroblastic tumor, which commonly occurs in the extremities, with an equal sex predilection.
This sarcoma is composed of a mixed inflammatory infiltrate along with spindled, epithelioid, and bizarre tumor cells in a background of hyaline and myxoid areas.
In spite of such a distinctive morphology, the tumor can be a diagnostic challenge, simulating inflammatory conditions as well as neoplastic nature.
For accurate diagnosis, the tumor requires extensive clinical, radiological, and pathological investigations.
We present a case of MIFS in a 19-year-old female who presented with a mass in the left ankle.
After appropriate excision and postoperative radiation therapy, she is free of disease, including recurrence and metastasis, at 12 years postoperatively.
