myxoinflammatory fibroblastic sarcoma

Myxoinflammatory fibroblastic sarcoma and hemosiderotic fibrolipomatous tumor are rare, slow-growing soft tissue tumors of the distal extremities with recurrent potential.

Recent cytogenetic studies have shown a t(1;10)(p22;q24) or der(10)t(1;10) in combination with aberrations of chromosome 3 in a limited number of cases of both entities.

In a soft tissue tumor of the ankle showing hybrid morphologic features of myxoinflammatory fibroblastic sarcoma and hemosiderotic fibrolipomatous tumor, a der(10)t(1;10), and abnormalities of chromosome 3 have been described. This hybrid lesion provides further evidence for a close relationship between these 2 tumor types.
