LEON-PALACIOS, José L. et al. Low-grade fibro-myxoid sarcoma of intracranial origin: A case report and literature review. Rev Neuropsiquiatr [online]. 2020, vol.83, n.3, pp.203-207. ISSN 0034-8597.  http://dx.doi.org/10.20453/rnp.v83i3.3800.

Low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma (LGFMS) is a soft tissue tumor of mesenchymal origin. Sarcomas are a heterogeneous group, representing 1% of all neoplasm diagnoses. Primary sarcomas of the central nervous system (CNS) are rare, and represent only 0.7% of all sarcomas, with an estimated incidence of 3 per 10 million people per year. The case of a 59-year-old woman who developed a low-grade intracranial fibromyxoid sarcoma in the right parietal region, is described. The clinical course, imaging studies, histopathological features, and treatment approach of this unusual diagnosis, are discussed. Low-grade intracranial fibromyxoid sarcoma is a rare and probably under- reported condition. The definitive diagnosis is usually made through histo-pathological studies.
