Abstract
Myofibrosarcoma is a very rare subtype of sarcoma derived from myofibroblasts. This tumor affects mainly adults, with a slight male predominance (Fisher C. Virchows Arch. 2004; 445: 215–223). It has a wide anatomical distribution but shows a predilection for the head and neck, especially the oral cavity (Mentzel T. Am J Surg Pathol. 1998; 22: 1228– 1238). Myofibrosarcoma is a low-grade sarcoma and has a low metastasis risk but a high recurrence rate. The purpose of this study is to report a case of myofibrosarcoma of the neck presenting with imaging findings suggestive of a vascular thrombosis.
