Resumo

The low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma (LGFMS), first described by Dr. Harry Evans in 1987, is a rare, enigmatic soft tissue sarcoma. Characterized by deceptively bland histologic features, LGFMS was thought until recently to have a paradoxically aggressive course. This review article summarizes the current state of knowledge about LGFMS and its collagen rosette–containing variant, the hyalinizing spindle cell tumor with giant rosettes. The differential diagnosis of LGFMS also is discussed.
