FIGURE 5. — Myxofibrosarcoma of the thigh. A 52-year-old woman presented with a firm mass in her popliteal region. (A) Ultrasound imaging demonstrated a mixed-echoic mass with an irregular inner texture. Power Doppler revealed a relatively large vessel accompanying multiple small vessels (type IV). (B) MRI revealed a mass of both high and low intensity on T2-weighted imaging. (C) Positron-emission tomography with fluorodeoxyglucose isotope revealed a tumour with high accumulation and no distant metastases. (D) Pathological examination of the biopsy specimen demonstrated abundant atypical tumour cells with nuclear pleomorphism.
