Clinicopathologic analysis assesses tumor characteristics and outcomes in patients with low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma at rare sites, indicating a more aggressive course.

Key Points

To analyze the clinicopathologic features and clinical outcomes of low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma located in abdominal and retroperitoneal sites.
Analyzed 26 cases of low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma from abdominopelvic locations.
Conducted histological and immunohistochemical evaluations, including MUC4 positivity and gene rearrangement testing.
Reviewed patient follow-up data for clinical outcomes such as metastasis and disease progression.
Of 15 patients with follow-up, 2 (13%) died of disease and 3 (20%) developed metastases.
7 (47%) patients experienced disease progression, while 8 (53%) were disease-free at 5-84 months with a median follow-up of 45 months.
Tumors displayed histological features consistent with those in extremities but suggested a more aggressive clinical course.
