Superficial Myxoid Lesions
ثبت نشده
چکیده
As a general rule, superficial myxoid lesions are benign and deep ones are often malignant, with the important exceptions that intramuscular myxoma is deep and myxofibrosarcoma (also called myxoid malignant fibrous histiocytoma) is classically superficial. These latter two lesions are covered in Chapter 21 and are likely to be sampled on needle biopsies, whereas superficial lesions are typically managed by excisional biopsy. The classic myxoid lesions of the genital region (aggressive angiomyxoma and angiomyofibroblastoma) are considered in Chapter 8.

Low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma (LGFMS) is a rare, typically deep-seated soft tissue neoplasm with deceptively bland cytology and metastatic potential. A t(7;16)(q34;p11) translocation, yielding a FUS/CREB3L2 fusion gene, has been identified in approximately 80%-90% of deep soft tissue LGFMS. Cutaneous fibromyxoid neoplasms occur not infrequently; dermatopathologists rarely consider LGFMS in the ...
