What Is the Prevalence and Fate of Myxoid Soft-Tissue Tumors With an Indeterminate Diagnosis Prior to Resection?
Indeterminate diagnosis before resection in myxoid tumors is relatively common, compared with prior reports in nonmyxoid neoplasms. Patients with indeterminate diagnosis before resection had two times higher rate of positive margins at resection surgery and markedly shorter local recurrence-free survival at 5 years compared with patients with malignant diagnosis known preoperatively. Diagnostic uncertainty at the time of resection is associated with worse oncologic outcomes in myxoid tumors.
