Key result
Complete resection of rare neck myofibroblastic sarcoma precedes incidental uterine mass discovery on postoperative imaging.
Why the study?
Low-grade myofibroblastic sarcoma rarely appears on the skin, and no cases of cutaneous low-grade myofibroblastic sarcoma in the neck were previously documented in the literature.
Case Report (n=1)
This case report describes a rare presentation of cutaneous low-grade myofibroblastic sarcoma in the neck treated with surgical resection.
First reported cutaneous neck LGMS; leaves open optimal management and surveillance strategies.
Myofibroblastic sarcoma can be classified as low-, intermediate-, and high-grade. Low-grade myofibroblastic sarcoma (LGMS) is uncommon and rarely appears on the skin. LGMS is diagnosed based on histopathological and immunohistochemical findings. Additionally, LGMS metastases are rare as well. Herein, the authors describe a case of cutaneous LGMS in the neck. To the best of our knowledge, there are no cases regarding cutaneous LGMS in the neck present in the existing literature. Surgical resection is considered as the most important treatment for LGMS. Therefore, a complete tumor resection was performed in this case. However, another mass in the uterus was identified on abdominal computed tomography performed post-surgery.

Park et al. (2022) conducted a case report in Cutaneous low-grade myofibroblastic sarcoma (LGMS) in the neck (n=1). Surgical resection was evaluated. Complete surgical resection of a rare cutaneous low-grade myofibroblastic sarcoma in the neck was performed, followed by the incidental discovery of a uterine mass on post-surgery imaging.
