Giant primary low‐grade fibromyxoid sarcoma arising from the left pulmonary parenchyma: A case report and literature review

BACKGROUND: Low‐grade fibromyxoid sarcoma is a rare painless neoplasm that primarily grows in young adults' proximal extremities and trunks. The lungs are infrequent sites for this type of sarcoma. CASE PRESENTATION: We reported a 26‐year‐old female that presented with a chief complaint of ches...

Sumario:BACKGROUND: Low‐grade fibromyxoid sarcoma is a rare painless neoplasm that primarily grows in young adults' proximal extremities and trunks. The lungs are infrequent sites for this type of sarcoma. CASE PRESENTATION: We reported a 26‐year‐old female that presented with a chief complaint of chest pain from a few months ago to Kasra hospital, Tehran, Iran, in August 2021. Chest computed tomography (CT) showed a hypodense mass with a well‐defined margin measuring 9.3 cm in the left upper lobe and multiple hypodense lesions with a lobulated appearance with a total diameter of 15.5 × 13.5 cm in the left lower lobe of the lung. CONCLUSION: This is the largest case of primary pulmonary low‐grade fibromyxoid sarcoma (30 × 28 × 7 cm), which seemed unresectable at first evaluation. Due to the extent of the tumor, left pneumonectomy was performed, leading to attenuation of symptoms and no recurrence at a six‐month follow‐up.
