Ossifying fibromyxoid tumor (OFMT) is a soft tissue tumor of uncertain lineage.
Epidemiology
It typically manifests in adults. There may be a slight increased male predilection.
Clinical presentation
The clinical presentation can vary depending on location but usually tends to manifest as a slowly growing painless mass.
Pathology
Its exact etiology is not very clear but a schwannian or chondroid origin has sometimes been favored. It comprises of small round cells dispersed in a myxoid matrix and can contain bone, osteoid, and collagen elements.
Location
It is reported to most often arise in the subcutaneous extremities.
Other reported locations include
- ribs/chest wall
- nasal septum
- sinuses
Treatment and prognosis
It is generally considered benign although recurrence following the resection can be common. Complete local resection is considered the best treatment in many cases.
