Article information

Los fibrosarcomas son un tipo de sarcomas de tejidos blandos, de baja frecuencia y de localización muy variada, aunque más del 50% se localizan en las extremidades. Tienen una evolución dominada por las recidivas locales y las metástasis que suelen ser pulmonares y que clásicamente son precoces, con un intervalo medio de 12 meses. Presentamos un caso de metástasis pulmonares con fibrosarcoma de pierna diagnosticado y tratado 14 años antes.

Palabras clave:
Fibrosarcoma
Metastasis pulmonares

Fibrosarcoma is a rare entity that affects soft tissues in a variety of locations, although it is most commonly found on the extremities. Local recurrence is frequent and metastasis usually takes place in pulmonary tissues early on, within a mean interval of 12 months. We present a case of pulmonary metastasis after fibrosarcoma of the leg that had been diagnosed and treated 14 years earlier.

Key words:
Fibrosarcoma
Pulmonary metastasis
