Myxofibrosarcoma in the Thenar Eminence
We present the case of an elderly woman with an expanding high-grade myxofibrosarcoma within the thenar musculature of the nondominant hand. She presented with early signs of complex regional pain syndrome, leading to a treatment dilemma. We feel this case has important learning points on assessing objectives, risks, and outcomes in the management of these types of cases, and it highlights the role of multidisciplinary involvement in sarcoma management.
