Abstract
Background: Ossifying fibromyxoid tumor (OFMT) is a rare soft tissue neoplasm of uncertain lineage and intermediate biological potential. It is more common in middle-aged men, usually arising from the deep tissues of the extremities. It is now established that it is a translocation related tumor, most often marked by translocation of PHF1 gene. Surgery is the mainstay of treatment and proves usually curative, although, in rarer cases the disease shows malignant features and tendency to recur both locally and at distant sites. In such cases, no standard treatment exists.
Case presentation: We report on a case of malignant advanced OFMT of the hand with lung metastases responding to isolated limb perfusion with human recombinant tumor necrosis factor and melphalan and chemotherapy with epirubicin and ifosfamide.
Conclusions: To our knowledge, this is the first report of activity of soft tissue sarcoma-oriented chemotherapy in advanced OFMT.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Sarcoma Research considers for publication articles related to research on sarcomas, including both soft tissue and bone. The journal publishes original articles and review articles on the diagnosis and treatment of sarcomas along with new insights in sarcoma research, which may be of immediate or future interest for diagnosis and treatment. The journal also considers negative results, especially those from studies on new agents, as it is vital for the medical community to learn whether new agents have been proven effective or ineffective within subtypes of sarcomas. The journal also aims to offer a forum for active discussion on topics of major interest for the sarcoma community, which may be related to both research results and methodological topics.
