To document the presentation, immunohistochemical diagnosis, and surgical management of a rare myxofibrosarcoma arising in the sinus piriformis.
Evaluated a 42-year-old male presenting with a sinus piriformis mass using histopathology and immunohistochemical analysis (N=1).
Excised the tumor through a transcervical surgical approach and reviewed relevant clinical literature.
Histopathology revealed spindle cellular proliferation within fibromyxoid stroma, and immunohistochemistry showed positive reactivity for vimentin, Ki-67, smooth muscle actin, and CD34, with negative S-100 staining.
Complete surgical resection resulted in an uneventful postoperative recovery with no local recurrence or distant metastasis observed during follow-up.
