Although LGFMS of the distal upper extremity is less common, it is critical for surgeons to consider it as a differential. The current approach is a wide excision with negative margins, and chemotherapy or radiotherapy may not be necessary. We found decreased proportions of local recurrence and metastases in the distal upper extremity compared with other anatomical regions. We recommend that surgeons follow up with their patients indefinitely given the slow mitotic rate of LGFMS.
