Is low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma difficult to diagnose by fine needle aspiration cytology : a cytomorphological study of eight cases?
There were no cytomorphological findings in FNAC to allow for a clear cut separation of LGFMS from other spindle cell or myxoid lesions, but high-grade sarcoma could be excluded. Surgical (incisional or excisional) biopsy or, alternatively, examination of RT-PCR for the FUS/CREB3L or FUS/CREB3L1 fusion transcripts may be necessary to obtain a correct diagnosis.
According to the definitions of postural perform references, the results showed deficit of balance and locomotion among patients with FMS. Analytic clinical tests (OLB and LRT) show reduced ability compared to age based norms. For OLB with open eyes, Ekdahl et al. (1989) considered, 60s as standard perform. For LRT, Brauer et al. (1999) indicated standard perform is 20±2cm. We noted similar results for the functional tests such as the BBS and TUG. The patients with FMS demonstrated balance impairments. Balance and gait analysis could be proposed as an objective measurement and treatment to assess the impact of rehabilitation in FM. Further studies are needed in order to take into account the effect of FM heterogeneity.
