%X <B>UNASSIGNED: </B>Myxofibrosarcoma (MFS) is a rare and locally infiltrative tumor that commonly occurs in extremities in older adults; however, truncal and head and neck cases have been reported. They are characterized by multinodular growth, incomplete fibrous septa, and myxoid stroma. Surgical resection is the mainstay of treatment.<BR><B>UNASSIGNED: </B>The authors report a case of a combined, supraclavicular, infraclavicular, transaxillary, and posterior subscapular approaches for resection of giant MFS.<BR><B>UNASSIGNED: </B>The anatomical complexity and rarity of tumors involving the brachial plexus impose many challenges onto surgeons performing surgical resections. Treatment choices and surgical outcomes rely heavily on meticulous multidisciplinary planning, anatomical knowledge, careful dissection, and extent of resection. This case is unique in utilizing four different approaches to the brachial plexus to resect one tumor.
