Primary Osseous Low-Grade Myxofibrosarcoma of Clavicle Presenting With Multiple Skeletal Metastases
Myxofibrosarcoma is a soft tissue neoplasm that usually affects the extremities of the elderly. It usually presents as a slow-growing painless mass that can metastasize to the lung and bone. However, the reported incidence of primary osseous myxofibrosarcoma is very low. Moreover, the metastatic pat...

description | Myxofibrosarcoma is a soft tissue neoplasm that usually affects the extremities of the elderly. It usually presents as a slow-growing painless mass that can metastasize to the lung and bone. However, the reported incidence of primary osseous myxofibrosarcoma is very low. Moreover, the metastatic pattern of these bone tumors is largely unknown. We describe a unique case of a young Caucasian male with symptomatic low-grade myxofibrosarcoma arising in the left clavicle, who presented with multiple bone metastases. |
