Implication

May support wide excision for local control in rare sarcomas; leaves open need for larger confirmatory studies.

Key Points

To describe the clinical presentation, radiological features, histopathological diagnosis, and surgical management of a rare low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma located around the knee.
Clinical and diagnostic evaluation using radiological imaging and histopathological examination in a 22-year-old male with a 10-year history of a painless knee mass.
Surgical intervention consisting of wide local excision followed by a five-year surveillance period for recurrence or metastasis.
Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma involving the proximal tibia and patella.
The patient achieved five years of continuous follow-up following wide excision with no clinical or radiological evidence of local recurrence or distant metastasis.

Structured PICO

Population

22-year-old male with a slow growing painless mass in the right knee over a period of 10 years, diagnosed with low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma (LGFMS)

Intervention

Wide excision

Outcome

Evidence of metastasis or recurrence

Wide excision of a rare low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma around the knee resulted in no metastasis over a 5-year follow-up in a young adult.
