Hemosiderotic fibrolipomatous tumor (HFLT) and myxoinflammatory fibroblastic sarcoma (MIFS) are rare, locally aggressive soft tissue tumors with a predilection for distal extremities of middle-aged adults. Hybrid tumors (HFLT-MIFS) demonstrate overlapping features of both and share recurrent translocation (1;10) (p22; q24). We describe a tumor with high-grade sarcomatous transformation of a hybrid HFLT-MIFS, with a novel gene fusion, presenting as a right foot soft tissue mass in an 85-year-old woman.

Rationale: Myxoinflammatory fibroblastic sarcoma (MIFS) is a rare low-grade malignant soft tissue sarcoma that primarily affects the distal extremities in adults, with the highest incidence in patients in their 40s and 50s. It has a high local recurrence rate and a low metastasis rate. Although MIFSs have been documented in other sites, an MIFS in the liver is highly unusual.

Soft-tissue and bone tumors represent a heterogeneous group of tumors encompassing more than 100 histologic subtypes today. Identifying genetic aberrations increasingly is important in these tumors for accurate diagnosis. Although gene mutations typically are detected by second-generation sequencing, the identification of structural variants (SVs) and copy number alterations (CNAs) remains challenging and requires various cytogenetic techniques including karyotyping, fluorescence in situ hybridization, and arrays, each with important limitations.

MIFS is a low-grade fibroblastic sarcoma that predilects to superficial distal extremity soft tissue. It is composed of plump spindled and epithelioid cells, inflammatory infiltrates, and mucin deposits in a fibrosclerotic stroma. Large epithelioid cells harboring bizarre nuclei and virocyte-like macronucleoli and pleomorphic pseudolipoblasts are characteristic.

Myxoinflammatory fibroblastic sarcoma (MIFS) is an infiltrative, locally aggressive fibroblastic neoplasm of intermediate malignancy that typically arises in the distal extremities of middle-aged adults. It can histologically be confused with a number of benign and malignant conditions. Recently, high-grade examples of MIFS have been described.
