Low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma of the hand: a case report

Guy Rubin et al. Hand (N Y). 2010 Dec.

Abstract

We report a case of low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma with giant collagen rosettes in the hand of a 21-year-old female. This is a clinically and radiological benign appearing tumor that has a high rate of recurrence and metastasis.

Keywords: Chondrosarcoma; Hand; Low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma.
