What is it about?
Management of Low Grade Fibromyxoid sarcoma can pose several challenges. First, it is hard two diagnose because of its deceptively benign appearance. Second, localisation of the LGFMS in the temporal bone is extremely rare. To the best of our knowledge, no such cases have been reported before. Surgical management of the tumour is described in detail.

Why is it important?
We describe the first two cases of LGFMS of the lateral skull base.
Perspectives
The most important thing was to point out several characteristics of this rare tumour. This tumour is hard to diagnose, it has deceptively benign histologic appearance. It is also important to know, that the long-term follow-up is essential in case of LGFMS, as the disease often displays high rate of metastasis.
