Abstract
Three patients with a soft tissue tumor (STT) exhibiting the very pecu liar histologic features typical of myxosarcoma are described. Patient s were 50 years of age. The epidemiology, origin, histologic classific ation and oncologic staging of STTs are reviewed. The term myxoid refe rs to a well-defined type of ground substance with typical histochemic al and cytological characteristics. When feasible, conservative surger y followed by radiotherapy is the treatment of choice. Adjunctive chem otherapy is sometimes disappointing.
