Prepatellar Fibroblastic Sarcoma: A Real Diagnostic and Therapeutic Challenge

Myxoinflammatory fibroblastic sarcoma is a rare, low-grade tumor. It is an aggressive tumor of soft tissue or bone that can affect any part of the body. It is often located in the soft tissues of the distal extremities of middle-aged adults. We report the case of a patient with myxo-inflammatory fibroblastic sarcoma surrounding the patellar tendon. The interesting aspect of our case lies in the rarity of the tumor and its particular location, constituting a real diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. In addition, we compared our case to recent literature.

Abstract

Myxoinflammatory fibroblastic sarcoma is a rare, low-grade tumor. It is an aggressive tumor of soft tissue or bone that can affect any part of the body. It is often located in the soft tissues of the distal extremities of middle-aged adults. We report the case of a patient with myxo-inflammatory fibroblastic sarcoma surrounding the patellar tendon. The interesting aspect of our case lies in the rarity of the tumor and its particular location, constituting a real diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. In addition, we compared our case to recent literature.
