123:(SEF). LGFMS tumors present with many clinical and pathological features that are similar to those in SEF. Indeed, current studies suggest that LGFMS may be an early form of SEF. For example, a tumor may present with features typical of LGFMS but over time progress to features typical of sclerosing epithelioid fibrosarcomas. This progression may be particularly evident in recurrent or metastatic "LGFMS" tumors. Since the World Health Organization has classified LGFMS as one of the malignant fibroblastic and myofibroblastic tumors that is distinctly different than SEF, SEF and LGFMS are here regarded as separate tumor forms. 29: 443:
surgically resected LGFMS tumors have tended to recur at the site or resection in up to 75% of cases. These recurrences can develop as long as 15 years (median: 3.5 years) after the initial diagnosis of the disease. Following initial surgical resection, metastases have been reported to develop in up to 50% of individuals. These metastases have been diagnosed up to 45 years (median: 5 years) after the initial diagnosis of LGFMS. They were found mostly in the lungs, pleura, and chest wall, occasionally in the
447:(i.e. the sac containing the heart), and rarely in a bone, the liver, or the heart. Recurrences of the tumors at the site of their resection as well as many of their metastases have been treated by surgical resections; this treatment may be repeated multiple times in individuals who develop repeated local recurrences and/or metastases. 156:, or abdominal cavity. Tumors occurring in subcutaneous and subfacial tissues are often 3–11 cm in size (largest diameter) but in sites where the tumor can go undetected for long periods such as the buttocks, mediastinum, or abdominal cavity have been reported to be as large as 25, 23.5, and 50 cm, respectively. 442:
The generally recommended treatment for LGFMS is aggressive, wide surgical excision of the tumor including even those located in difficult to access sites such as the mediastinum. Complete removal of all tumor tissue is critical in lowering the rates of recurrences and metastases. Over the long term,
