The correlation of imaging, clinical features and pathology of myxoid fibrosarcoma
Background and purpose: Myxoid fibrosarcoma (MFS) is a rare malignant fibrogenic soft tissue tumor and more common in the elderly
which is highly invasive and prone to recurrence. At present
the diagnosis of this tumor is difficult to some extent. Imaging has a certain credibility for determining whether the soft tissue tumor is sarcoma and its malignancy
but it can only be used as a reference for the qualitative characterization of the tumor. The purpose of this study was to improve the diagnostic level of MFS by analyzing the imaging manifestations
clinical features and pathological correlation
and to further classify it into low
medium and high grade. Methods: From January 2019 to February 2021
imaging
clinical and pathological data of 11 patients with surgically proven MFS in the Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center and 22 patients in the Minhang Branch of Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center were collected. Imaging data was obtained through measurement of the tumor shape
size
density/signal
degree of enhancement and surrounding tissue infiltration and other signs. Clinical features included gender
age
prone site
symptoms and signs of patients. Pathology grading of Ⅰ
Ⅱ and Ⅲ were performed according to the proportion of myxoid
tumor cells and fibrous components in the sampled tissues
as well as the size of tumor cell atypia and the number of mitotic figures. Results: In this study
5 patients had grade Ⅰ MFS
10 patients had grade Ⅱ-Ⅲ MFS
and 18 patients had grade Ⅲ MFS. In 10 cases
the maximum diameter of the tumor was ≥5 cm. Myxoid changes were observed in 10 cases. Cystic necrosis was observed in 22 cases. Tail sign was observed in 30 cases. Double hyposignal sign was observed in 27 cases
and peritumoral edema was observed in 23 cases. There was no significant difference in the size
tail sign and double hyposignal sign among the three groups of mild
moderate and high MFS (P0.05). There were statistically significant differences in myxoid degeneration
necrotic cystic degeneration and peritumoral edema among the three groups (P0.05). Conclusion: Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have specific correlation with the clinical manifestations and pathological features of MFS.
