Abstract

Lipofibromatosis-like neural tumors (LPF-NT) are soft tissue tumors characterized by a lipofibromatosis-like pattern, CD34/PS100 positivity, and recurrent NTRK1 gene rearrangement. It occurs mainly in pediatric patients or young adults. We report here, the first case of LPF-NT in a middle-aged adult initially misdiagnosed as a myoepithelial tumor. LPF-NT may have a locally aggressive course but no recurrence was seen after complete surgeries, whereas metastatic diseases remain exceptional.
