fibrosarcoma
Cancerous fibrous tumor
Fibrosarcoma is a malignant tumor arising from fibrous connective tissue.
These cancers develop from fibroblasts—cells that produce collagen and other structural fibers—and can occur in soft tissue, bone, or organs.
The biopsy revealed a fibrosarcoma in her thigh.
Treatment typically involves surgical removal, sometimes combined with radiation or chemotherapy.
