Objectives: to report a rare case of low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma (LGFMS) in an unusual location in order to reinforce histopathological and immunohistochemical aspects relevant to the recognition of this entity and the adequate differential diagnosis of paratesticular masses.
Case report: 20-year-old man, with a right scrotal mass and histopathological analysis showing the presence of fibrous tissue with myxoid areas and a predominance of spindle cells. Immunohistochemistry was positive for vimentin, with a Ki67 index of 2%, and negative for S100, CD-34, beta-catenin, desmin and myogenin.
Conclusions: rare case of LGFMS in the paratesticular region that reinforces the importance of histopathology and immunohistochemistry in the diagnosis of this tumor. Despite the benign histological characteristic, LGFMS has high rates of recurrence and metastasis, and patient follow-up is essential.
