Summary

The authors present a case of a 57-year-old man, who presented to the surgical clinic with a mass in the suprapubic region. A CT scan revealed a well-circumscribed lobular, heterogeneous soft tissue mass measuring 12×8.6×7.8 cm. The final histopathological diagnosis from the resection of the lesion was a myxofibrosarcoma (MFS), grade 3. The management of MFS includes surgical and oncological options which are reviewed here. These are aimed at complete excision and reducing the risk of local occurrence.
