Case:
We present a case of a 35-year-old-man with a giant sclerosing epithelioid fibrosarcoma (SEF) of the thigh. The patient presented with a history of a painful thigh mass. Plain radiographs revealed a soft-tissue mass with extensive calcifications, whereas on magnetic resonance imaging, a lobulated mass between the adductors and the posterior muscles of the thigh was noted. A wide en block resection was undertaken, and the histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of SEF. Postoperative radiation therapy was followed. The patient had no signs of recurrence at the 4-year follow-up.
Conclusion:
The clinicopathological, imaging characteristics, and treatment options of this rare soft-tissue tumor are discussed.
