Low-grade myofibroblastic sarcoma (LGMS) is an exceedingly rare, malignant tumor with myofibroblastic differentiation. It frequently occurs in the oral cavity and extremities, despite being classified as a distinct entity by the World Health Organization (WHO). Here, we report a rare case of orbital LGMS occurring in an 11-month-old baby with a 3.2 × 2.4 × 2.1 cm mass. LGMS was diagnosed based on the histological and immunohistochemical findings. Previous literature suggests that surgical resection with clear margins is an appropriate method for the treatment of LGMS, and combined adjuvant therapy (local radiotherapy with or without chemotherapy) can improve the prognosis, but further studies are needed.

Endometrial stromal sarcoma (ESS) is a rare and challenging type of endometrial tumor, constituting only about 0.2% of all uterine malignancies and occurring in women 42–58 years of age. ESS is usually misdiagnosed as leiomyoma. They both have nonspecific symptoms, which makes the diagnosis of ESS difficult to achieve. As the ESS is infrequently encountered, optimal management is quite debatable. Here, we report a rare case of a 22-year-old Syrian female who presented with abnormal uterine bleeding; the preoperative diagnosis suggested leiomyoma while histopathological and immunohistochemical studies confirmed the diagnosis of LG-ESS stage IIA. Therefore, the treatment plan was shifted from a conservative myomectomy to a total hysterectomy with both adnexa. The aim of this case report is to draw attention to this uncommon tumor at young age of patients as well as to have awareness of the necessity to suspect this diagnosis especially with the presentation of rapid enlargement of uterine leiomyoma.

Abstract Ameloblastic fibrosarcoma (AFS) is a rare, aggressive malignant odontogenic tumor. AFS is seen most frequently in second and third decades of life. We are reporting a case of a low grade AFS in a 21-year-old male complaining of a painless swelling in the right side of the maxilla. The patient was treated with surgical excision followed by radiotherapy, which is considered the most effective approach for most of soft tissue sarcomas. AFS has a high-reported recurrence rate (up to 37%); therefore, long-term surveillance for recurrence is crucial.

Chondrosarcoma is a rare variant of bladder tumor and one of the rare types of soft tissue sarcoma. This case happened on a 36-year-old male who complained of lumps in his lower abdomen, accompanied by difficulties in passing urine and painful urination, without hematuria. We performed TURBT and histopathological examination showed low-grade chondrosarcoma. The patient was diagnosed with low-grade bladder chondrosarcoma. The patient was treated for chemotherapy and radiotherapy. However, after undergoing one cycle of chemotherapy, the patient refused to continue the therapy.
