Low-grade myofibroblastic sarcoma (LGMS) is a rare malignant mesenchymal tumor derived from myofibroblasts. It is commonly identified in the head and neck, and particularly in the oral cavity, but rarely in the larynx. In this case report, we describe a patient who presented with hoarseness and underwent electronic fiber laryngoscopy, which revealed a neoplasm on the surface of his left vocal cord. The vocal cord tumor was resected under general anesthesia, and a malignant LGMS was diagnosed on postoperative pathologic examination. The results of immunohistochemical staining of the sections for vimentin (diffuse +), actin (partial +), and desmin (-) were consistent with this diagnosis. The patient recovered well after the surgery, and there was no recurrence of the neoplasm.

Epithelioid inflammatory myofibroblastic sarcoma (EIMS) is a distinct subtype of inflammatory myofibroblastoma tumor (IMT) that is recognized as a rare malignant tumor characterized by anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) positivity, significant aggressiveness, treatment challenges, and a poor prognosis. We report on the case of an 8-year-old boy presenting with abdominal pain and vomiting. Computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen revealed a large tumor, and the pathology results following a biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of EIMS.

Primitive myxoid mesenchymal tumor of infancy (PMMTI) is a low to intermediate-grade, poorly differentiated myofibroblastic tumor and is characterized by its tendency to recur locally. It commonly occurs in the 1 year of life and is predominantly seen in the axial skeleton and rarely in the retroperitoneum. We report one such case of PMMTI, which is the second case reported in English literature.

Vascular, fibrous/myofibroblastic, and myogenic tumors account for the majority of mesenchymal tumors in children. These tumors often show significant overlap in morphology and immunophenotype posing diagnostic difficulties and, thus, their classification remains challenging. Recent advances in immunohistochemistry have proved helpful in identifying a specific line of differentiation in some tumors, but other tumors remain difficult to classify.

Epithelioid inflammatory myofibroblastic sarcoma (EIMS) is a rare and aggressive subtype of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor. The disease is associated with rearrangements of the anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK). In this paper, we present the clinicopathological features and treatment of a female patient diagnosed with EIMS.
