ABSTRACT
Dendritic fibromyxolipomas are very rare, benign soft tissue tumours that have only been recently described in literature. The tumour is distinguished by the slender cytoplasmic processes of the spindle cells, prominent vascular pattern and a myxoid and collagenous background along with few vacuolated, mature adipocytes. It is extremely rare for this tumour to occur in the extremities. We report a case of a 68 year old female presenting with a mass over the right thigh since 3 years. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemistry diagnosed the case as a dendritic fibromyxolipoma, a rare and distinct soft tissue tumour with the close differentials of low-grade myxoid liposarcoma, spindle cell lipoma and solitary fibrous tumour. The tumour was completely excised and post-operative period was uneventful.
Key words: soft tissue spindle cell tumour, immunohistochemistry, dendritic fibromyxolipoma thigh
