Article Synopsis
  • Low-grade myofibroblastic sarcoma (LGMS) is a rare tumor typically found in the oral cavity and head/neck region, characterized by myofibroblast cells and a high chance of returning locally but low risk of spreading to distant sites.
  • The study analyzed 13 cases of LGMS from various countries, revealing that most patients are young females, often presenting with nodular lesions in the maxilla, and exhibiting specific microscopic and immunohistochemical features that confirm the diagnosis.
  • Complete surgical removal of the tumor is recommended for treatment, but additional long-term studies are needed to better understand recurrence rates and metastasis potential.
