Abstract

Myxofibrosarcoma is one of the most common soft tissue sarcomas in elderly patients. It often occurs in the extremities, trunk, and retroperitoneum. However, it is rarely observed in the mediastinum, and only a few cases have been reported in the literature. Herein, we present the imaging findings, with an emphasis on the MRI results, of a surgically confirmed anterior mediastinal myxofibrosarcoma in a 66-year-old male.
