Key result
Surgical resection and histological analysis of a 4.0 cm lung mass in a 22-year-old man confirmed a rare case of primary pulmonary low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma.
Why the study?
Low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma typically presents in deep soft tissues and, while the lung is its most common metastatic site, it rarely occurs as a primary pulmonary tumor.
Population
A 22-year-old asymptomatic man with an incidentally discovered lung mass

Supports inclusion of low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma in the differential for lung masses in young adults; leaves open questions on prognosis and treatment.
Case Report (n=1)
Low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma can rarely arise as a primary tumor in the lungs and should be considered in the differential diagnosis for solitary lung masses in young adults.
Yoshimura et al. (2021) conducted a case report in Primary pulmonary low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma (n=1). Surgery was evaluated on Histological diagnosis. Surgical resection and histological analysis of a 4.0 cm lung mass in a 22-year-old man confirmed a rare case of primary pulmonary low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma.
