Low grade fibromyxoid sarcoma (LGFMS) is a rare and benign mesenchymal tumor with indolent course, most commonly found in young or middle-aged men. The majority of the LGFMSs are located in the trunk and deep soft tissue of the lower extremities. They appear as well circumscribed, although not encapsulated, which often leads to incomplete surgical resection. Despite their seemingly benign appearance, these tumors have aggressive behavior with high metastatic and recurrence rates. Accurate histopathologic examination of the specimen and its immunohistochemical analysis are mandatory for a precise diagnosis.
