Idiopathic and radiation-induced myxofibrosarcoma in the head and neck—case report and literature review
Abstract Background Myxofibrosarcoma (MFS), especially radiation-Induced MFS (RIMFS) in the head and neck, is an extremely rare malignant fibroblastic tumor. The diagnosis and treatment of MFS remain great challenges. In the present study, we presented one case of RIMFS. Combined with previous liter...
