Abstract
- Abstract: Myxofibrosarcoma is common in the extremities, but rare in the head and neck region. Hypopharyngeal myxofibrosarcoma has not been reported previously. We report the first case of a patient with myxofibrosarcoma of the hypopharynx. We examined this patient once a month after the operation, and there has been no local recurrence and no distant metastasis. Sarcomas are rare in the hypopharynx, but we have to bear in mind their possibility. Though a low-grade myxofibrosarcoma is a low-grade malignancy, complete resection should be done. We have to pay more attention planning the treatment for neoplastic diseases. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
