Thoracoscopic Wedge Resection for Low-Grade Fibromyxoid Sarcoma (Evans Tumor) with Massive Calcification and Originating from the Lung: A Rare Case in an Unexpected Location.
We encountered a rare case of low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma, which is generally known as Evans tumor, with massive calcification originating from the lung. The patient was a 22-year-old man with Duchenne muscular dystrophy who was referred for a detailed investigation of an intrathoracic tumor with massive calcification. Although our preoperative diagnosis was a solitary fibrous tumor originating from the mediastinum or diaphragm, intraoperative thoracoscopy revealed the tumor arising from the left lower lobe without adhesion to the other organs. Considering his medical history, we aimed to preserve lung function and chose wedge resection, which completely removed the tumor. Based on the pathological findings, the tumor was diagnosed as low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma with massive calcification originating from the lung. Although extremely rare, this tumor should be considered as a differential diagnosis for a solitary lung mass with massive calcification in young adults.
