Abstract
Myxofibrosarcoma is a myxoid variant of malignant fibrous histiocytoma that most commonly involves the extremities of elderly people. However, a primary myxofibrosarcoma with bone invasion in young adults is extremely rare. Herein, we report the case of a 52-year-old Women presenting to our hospital, with complaints of oral ulcers, constipation since 2 weeks and pain in anal area since 1 week. Patient also complained of pain in back of right thigh and right hand/shoulder/TMJ since 1 week and unable to walk and sit due to pain. She was then referred to department of Radiodiagnosis for an MRI lower extremities, based on the findings observed a PET-CT was advised and patient underwent subsequent core biopsy of lung mass and immunohistochemistry.
