- Abstract
Approximately 3300 new primary bone tumors will present to American physicians this year. This small but important group of malignancies has become more defined with developments in pathologic morphology, immunohistochemistry, and molecular studies. As tumor types are better partitioned, their specific characteristics are more readily observed. In this article we present the first reported case of a myxofibrosarcoma of bone developing within a bone infarct. With improved delineation of rarer tumor types, it is expected that additional cases of myxofibrosarcoma of bone will be recognized, potentially arising from a bone infarct. By framing the context, describing the case, and sharing pertinent figures, we hope to facilitate this recognition.
