What are the MRI findings of acral myxoinflammatory fibroblastic sarcomas?
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Acral myxoinflammatory fibroblastic sarcomas show variable MRI patterns and can invade bone, making differential diagnosis with benign conditions challenging.
OBJECTIVE: Acral myxoinflammatory fibroblastic sarcoma is a rare, recently described, low-grade sarcoma that involves mainly the distal extremities. The purpose of this study is to report the MRI findings in four cases of acral myxoinflammatory fibroblastic sarcoma. CONCLUSION: Acral myxoinflammatory fibroblastic sarcomas may present with various MRI patterns that probably reflect their variable histologic composition. Differential diagnosis with other benign conditions, especially with ganglion cysts and giant cell tumors of the tendon sheath, may be difficult. We report tumoral invasion of the bone in one case, which to our knowledge has not been previously described.

Narváez et al. (2007) conducted a case report in Acral myxoinflammatory fibroblastic sarcomas (n=4). MRI was evaluated. MRI of acral myxoinflammatory fibroblastic sarcomas showed various patterns reflecting variable histologic composition, including previously undescribed tumoral invasion of the bone in one case.
