Abstract
Myxofibrosarcomas (MFSs) are sarcomas most commonly seen in older patients. These are tumors of deep soft tissue seen in subcutaneous tissue and deep fascia, with frequent muscle involvement. These sarcomas are notorious for recurrences and progression to a higher grade with notable metastatic potential. They are very often under-diagnosed owing to their inherent morphological variability. A case of MFS is presented as a cutaneous, exophytic, polypoidal mass because of its rarity and importance of timely diagnosis, as under-diagnosis may lead to inadequate clearance of tumor, recurrences, metastases and increased mortality.Entities:
