Abstract

Myxofibrosarcoma (MFS) is a unique soft tissue (fibroblastic) sarcoma, characterized by malignant with a locally infiltrative behavior. In this case image, we aimed to report an uncommon/challenging scenario of MFS involving the scatic nerve in which the potential contribution of ultrasound examination has been touched upon.
