Abstract
Definition: Malignant fibroblastic lesions with myxoid stroma, pleomorphism, and a distinctive curvilinear vascular pattern. The designation of myxofibrosarcomas and myxoid malignant fibrous histiocytoma has been considered almost synonymous in the 2013 WHO classification of soft tissue tumors. This classification does not mention a minimal amount of myxoid matrix for the definition of myxofibrosarcoma.
