Abstract

Myofibroblastic sarcoma (MS) is a rare disease, which most frequently occurs in the head, neck and extremities. To the best of our knowledge, although a small number of studies have reported MS of the oral cavity, maxilla, tonsil, thyroid and tongue, MS of the liver and subsequent disabled liver function has not been previously reported. This study presents the case of a 38 year old female initially diagnosed and treated for a mass in the retroperitoneal region, who was subsequently diagnosed with MS of the liver three months following preliminary surgical treatment. The patient refused further treatment and was lost to follow‑up three months after discharge from the hospital. Clinical, biochemical and imaging observations, as well as pathological manifestations of the patient in the present case are discussed with the aim of increasing the knowledge of MS of the liver.
