Low Grade Fibromyxoid Sarcoma (LGFMS) is a rare neoplasm commonly affects young adults and which typically arises in the deep soft tissues of the proximal extremities. This tumour has the potential for local recurrence or distant metastasis. We are presenting here, the case of a 70-year old male who developed a large ulceroproliferative nodular mass in the dorsum of the left foot, which led to an extensive foot deformity with local recurrence. Careful consideration of light microscopy in view of its bland histopathological findings and immunohistochemical features is important to distinguish LGFMS from a number of other benign and malignant soft tissue neoplasms, for the proper management of the patient.
