Low grade fibromyxoid sarcoma (LGFS) is a rare tumor that has a tendency to develop in deep soft tissues. Despite its histologically benign appearance it may have an aggressive clinical course with local recurrences and metastasis. It was first described by Evans in 1987. It is more often seen in young adults and especially in male patients. The tumor has a tendency to develop in deep soft tissues and less frequently in the subcutaneous tissues; the most common locations are gluteal region, chest wall, shoulder and lower extremities but rarely it may also occur in the head, cheek, jaw and the retroperitoneal area. In this case report we aimed to determine the diagnosis pathways and treatment modalities of LGFS, with regard to the literature.
