Abstract
Myofibroblasts were first detected in the granulation tissue and low-grade myofibroblastic sarcoma has now been recognized as a distinct entity. It has an indolent clinical course and distant metastasis is very rare. Hence surgical excision is the mainstay of the treatment. However, this tumor morphologically mimics other relatively high-grade soft tissue sarcomas, so distinguishing them is of utmost importance. Here we report, a 22-year-old young girl presented with neck pain and a slowly growing mass in the cervical paraspinal region. The patient was managed by wide local excision and the specimen was examined thoroughly. After considering all the features diagnosis of low-grade myofibroblastic sarcoma was offered.
