Abstract
The ultrasound appearance of myxofibrosarcoma is highly variable corresponding to its variable and at times heterogeneous histopathologic appearance. Myxofibrosarcomas may mimic a benign process and the infiltrative tumor margins may be difficult to precisely delineate on ultrasound imaging. These tumor characteristics pose a diagnostic challenge on ultrasound evaluation. The radiologist should be aware of the variable morphologic presentation and infiltrative nature of myxofibrosarcoma and the limitations of ultrasound in the initial diagnosis, biopsy guidance, and post-surgical follow-up of this tumor.Entities:
