Tumors

- low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma (LGFMS)

  • LGFMS is a rare metastasizing soft tissue tumor with deceptively bland histologic features.

- hyalinizing spindle cell tumor with giant rosettes (HSCT)

  • HSCT is thought to be a LGFMS closely related tumor differing only by the presence of collagen rosettes.
