Abstract

Introduction

Fibrosarcoma of bone is a rare malignant spindle cell tumor.

Case Study

Herein, we present a case of fibrosarcoma in a 40-year-old male who was presented to the clinic with left-sided great toe pain for 20 years. Simple radiographs showed acrolysis at the distal phalanx of great toe. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a 1.5 cm sized heterogenous high signal intensity mass on T2-weighted images and iso signal intensity on T1- weighted images. Dorsal and distal portion of the mass showed markedly dark signal intensity on T1 and T2-weighted images.

Conclusion

In an enhanced image, the mass showed heterogenous enhancement. Surgical removal was performed and pathologic analysis revealed fibrosarcoma. Although extremely rare, fibrosarcoma of the bone should be kept in mind as a possibility when a lesion exhibits a black signal intensity component on an MRI with acrolysis.
