Imaging findings of thoracic low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma: report of three cases.
Imaging findings of low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma (LGFMS) are reported in three thoracic cases, two in the mediastinum and one in the chest wall. The multinodular intralesional structure with strongly enhancing components in the periphery and components with abrupt transition may be suggestive of LGFMS. Strongly enhancing areas correlated with the hypercellular zone, and weakly enhancing areas correlated with the myxoid zone with less cellularity, or hyalinization. No differences in vasculature densities between the myxoid and fibrous zones were demonstrated.
