Abstract
Low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma is a rare malignant neoplasm of fibroblastic/myofibroblastic origin in the head and neck region. This lesion often arises in deep soft tissues with the potential for recurrence and late metastatic dissemination. A 23-year-old woman presented with a symptomatic swelling in the left posterior maxilla, evolving over 2 months, with an erythematous, ulcerated surface and evident telangiectasia. Computed tomography showed a hypodense osteolytic lesion located between tooth 27 and the maxillary tuberosity, with undefined borders and involvement of the left maxillary sinus. An incisional biopsy was performed, and histological analysis revealed a fibromyxoid neoplasm. Immunohistochemical staining was positive for AML, SATB2, Vimentin, and negative for SOX10, CD34, S100, Desmin. Considering both analyses, the final microscopic diagnosis was low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma. The patient underwent surgical removal of the lesion, and after 12 months of clinical and radiographic follow-up, there are no signs of recurrence.
