Implication

May indicate metastatic risk despite benign histology in fibromyxoid tumors; leaves open validation of low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma as a distinct entity.

Structured PICO

Population

2 women in their late twenties with low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma located in the soft tissues of the scapular area and the axillary-chest wall area

Intervention

Excision of the primary neoplasm

Outcome

Development of lung metastases and survivalhard clinical

Identifies a deceptively benign-appearing fibromyxoid sarcoma that has metastasizing potential, suggesting the designation 'low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma'.
