Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

Comments and Suggestions for Authors

Nice case presentation. However, do I understand correctly that the incisional biopsy was performed before any imaging? In my institution, I am used that biopsy is performed after imaging to make sure the hemorrhage from the biopsy does not conflict with the tumor characteristics. 
Also, did you consider 18FDG-PET or whole body CT for metastasis detection?

Reviewer 2 Report

Comments and Suggestions for Authors

P1, line 4, Myxofibrosarcoma is one word, so it doesn't seem necessary to use an abbreviation as well as full manuscript.

 

P1, line 5-6 & P2, line 29-30, Please mention reported rates for local recurrence, distant metastasis, and prevalence.

 

P1, line 8-9, The location of the MDP accumulation is missing.

 

P1, line 23, I think a footnote called arrowhead would be more appropriate than a footnote called triangle for Figure C.

 

P2. I thick it would be good to summarize the clinical impact that can be informed from this case in the last sentence at the end.

 

P1~2, figure legend, The figure legend should be written in the present continuous tense. Please edit accordingly.

 

P1~2, figure, It would be helpful if the CT finding of myxofibrosarcoma could be further described. Also If you have MRI scans, please attach that as well.

Reviewer 3 Report

Comments and Suggestions for Authors

I just have one minor request. As I see from the images, the tumor should have a "multilobulated configuration". Please add this term and please use the following paper for citing: https://0-doi-org.brum.beds.ac.uk/10.2478/raon-2021-0007
