Abstract:
We report here a case of an unusual spindle cell tumour of the palm with myofibroblastic differentiation, which was surgically excised. Histologically and immunohistochemically, it was a low-grade myofibroblastic sarcoma. After 25 months follow-up the patient is well and free of recurrence.Keywords: Myofibroblast; sarcoma; soft tissue; immunohistochemistry; hand; surgery
