Abstract We report a 74-year-old male presented to an outpatient dermatology clinic in Manaus, Amazonas, with a one-year history of pruritic, keloidal lesions on his left lower extremity. Histopathology showed round structures in reticular dermis. Grocott methenamine silver stain revealed numerous round yeasts with thick double walls, occurring singly or in chains connected by tubular projections. The diagnosis was lobomycosis. Although the keloidal lesions presented by this patient are typical of lobomycosis, their linear distribution along the left lower limb is unusual.

O mixofibrossarcoma, previamente conhecido como histiocitoma fibroso maligno, variante mixoide, é um tumor raro, de origem mesenquimal, composto por células fusiformes e estroma mixoide. Acomete mais idosos, envolvendo extremidades inferiores e estendendo-se, em sua maior parte, até a derme e o subcutâneo. Apresenta altas taxas de recorrência e para seu diagnóstico é fundamental a realização de uma biópsia profunda. Relataremos o caso de um mixofibrossarcoma de alto grau, caracterizado por lesão tumoral de crescimento rápido e pela presença de marcado pleomorfismo celular e componente mixoide em abundância

Myxofibrosarcoma, previously known as malignant fibrous histiocytoma, myxoid variant, is a rare tumor of mesenchymal origin, composed of spindle cells and myxoid stroma. It mainly affects elderly people, involving the lower extremities and frequently extending to the dermis and subcutaneous tissue. The tumor presents high rates of recurrence, and a deep biopsy is required to obtain the correct diagnosis. We report a case of high-grade mixofibrossarcoma characterized by a rapidly growing tumor and the presence of marked cellular pleomorphism and an abundant myxoid matrix
