“…However, HSTGR is a variant of LGFMS that also has a tendency for local recurrence and metastasis, and its behavior resembles that of LGFMS. 40 The study by Folpe et al 6 similarly evaluated both LGFMS and HSTGR and found 5 recurrences, 3 metastasis, and 1 death. When excluding the 3 HSTGR from our review, there are 3 local recurrences (25%) of 12 reported LGFMS outcomes, which is comparable to our original finding of 26.7%.…”

Background: Low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma (LGFMS) is a rare soft-tissue tumor that usually occurs in the proximal extremities and trunk. The purpose of this systematic review was to assess patient demographics, treatment approach, and outcomes for patients with LGFMS of the distal upper extremity. Methods: We performed a literature review of case reports and patient reports of LGFMS using Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE) and PubMed. Inclusion criteria included case reports and case series of patients with LGFMS of the distal upper extremity. Animal studies, comments, and non-English publications were excluded. Data on available patient demographics, treatment regimen, recurrence, and metastasis were collected. Results: A total of 365 publications were reviewed. After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 19 articles were included. There were 24 unique patients with LGFMS of the distal upper extremity. The median age was 32 years, and most patients were treated with a surgical excision. Of the 15 reported outcomes, 4 patients had local recurrences, and no patient had metastases or died due to the tumor. Conclusions: Although LGFMS of the distal upper extremity is less common, it is critical for surgeons to consider it as a differential. The current approach is a wide excision with negative margins, and chemotherapy or radiotherapy may not be necessary. We found decreased proportions of local recurrence and metastases in the distal upper extremity compared with other anatomical regions. We recommend that surgeons follow up with their patients indefinitely given the slow mitotic rate of LGFMS.

“…1 A small subset of both LGFMS and hyalinizing spindle tumour (HSCT) displays areas of increased cellularity and atypical which qualify as intermediate to high grade sarcoma. 2 Spindle cell carcinomas are rare presentation in the esophagus as well. 3 These tumors rarely metastasized, but pulmonary and lymph nodes metastases are reported in the literature.…”

Spindle cell sarcoma is a rare tumor that arises most commonly from the peripheral and deep soft tissues. It usually occurs in the extremities but rarely present as a large abdominal mass, and in this case it was a recurrent tumor involving whole of rectus muscle on right side. We report the case of a 42 year old male who presented with abdominal swelling and distention. CT scan showed a mass occupying the whole of the abdomen and pelvis. Exploration of abdomen revealed a hard mass about 13×10×11 cm in size. Complete excision was done, the huge defect was closed by transposition of left side rectus abdominus muscle with prolene mesh, which was a challenging task in this case. On histopathology and immunochemistry a high grade spindle cell carcinoma was confirmed.
