Abstract

Myxofibrosarcoma is one of the most common soft tissue tumors in elderly patients, mostly arising in the extremities, and rarely arising in the chest wall. A 53-year-old women presented with a painful chest wall mass in the manubrium. We excised the mass. The mass was located subdermally, but had infiltrated the underlying muscle layer, and was histologically diagnosed as an intermediate grade myxofibrosarcoma showing myxoid changes and hypercellularity. Here we report a rare case of chest wall myxofibrosarcoma and present a review of the literature.

점액섬유육종은 장년의 환자에서 가장 흔한 연조직 종양중 하나로 주로 사지에서 발생하며, 흉벽에서는 드물게 발생한다. 53세 여자 환자가 흉골(manubrium)에 통증을 동반한 흉벽종괴를 주소로 내원하여, 종양적출술을 받았다. 종괴는 근육층까지 침범한 피하층 종양으로 조직검사상 점액성 변화와 세포의 고충실성을 보이는 중등급의 점액섬유육종으로 진단되었다. 드문 질환으로 알려진 흉벽의 점액섬유육종을 치험하였기에 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.
