Overview

AMIFS may metastasize with fatal outcomes; challenges exclusive low-grade classification but remains hypothesis-generating from case reports.

Structured PICO

Population

5 patients (three men and two women; age 39-65 years) with Acral myxoinflammatory fibroblastic sarcoma (AMIFS)

Intervention

Excision (3 patients) or below the knee amputation (1 patient)

Outcome

Clinicopathologic features, immunohistochemical profile and follow-up data

AMIFS are rare tumors that can present as slow-growing masses and may develop metastases, challenging the notion that they are exclusively low-grade neoplasms.
