Intracranial MFS is a rare condition. At present, limited data exist regarding brain metastasis from MFS. This article reports a case of MFS and reviews the literature regarding MFS metastasis.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n\nCase Description: <\/jats:title>\nWe report a case of brain metastasis from chest wall MFS. The patient was diagnosed with an anterior thoracic MFS and underwent surgery and radiotherapy. One year later, he noticed a tumor on his left shoulder, and more than 1 year thereafter, bilateral lung metastasis was observed. Twelve months after lung metastasis, he presented to the emergency department and underwent contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging, which demonstrated a left frontal tumor suggestive of brain metastasis. Since the main hypothesis was a sarcoma metastasis at the location close to the left motor area, and the patient had a good Karnofsky performance scale, the patient underwent neuronavigation-guided surgery. After surgery, the patient developed Grade III hemiparesis and aphasia. Brain tumor histopathology confirmed a malignant neoplasm with osteosarcomatous differentiation and metastasis from MFS.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n\nConclusion: <\/jats:title>\nWe report a rare case of MFS metastasis. To the best of our knowledge, this is the eighth case of intracerebral metastasis from MFS.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.25259\/sni_717_2022","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,18]],"date-time":"2022-11-18T06:46:41Z","timestamp":1668754001000},"page":"537","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.25259\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Brain metastasis from a thoracic myxofibrosarcoma: A case report and literature review"],"prefix":"10.25259","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Ot\u00e1vio da Cunha","family":"Ferreira Neto","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, Catholic University of Pernambuco, Recife, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Roberto Borges","family":"Bezerra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oncology, Hospital Memorial S\u00e3o Jos\u00e9, Recife, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rhuann Pontes dos Santos","family":"Silva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, Catholic University of Pernambuco, Recife, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Melissa Helena Rodrigues","family":"Silva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, Catholic University of Pernambuco, Recife, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Joaquim Fechine","family":"de Alencar Neto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, Unifacisa University Center, Campina Grande, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Arthur Jos\u00e9 Maia","family":"Lopes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Real Hospital Portugu\u00eas, Recife, Brazil."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"10894","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_717_2022\/ref-1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e61","DOI":"10.1016\/j.medcli.2018.02.021","article-title":"Intracranial malignant fibrous histiocytoma","volume":"151","author":"Amezcua-Guti\u00e9rrez","year":"2018","journal-title":"Med Clin (Barc)"},{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_717_2022\/ref-2","first-page":"127","article-title":"Myxofibrosarcoma.
