Ossifying Fibromyxoid Tumor

Ossifying fibromyxoid tumor is a rare type of soft tissue tumor that usually affects the limbs and trunk. It is composed of a mixture of fibrous and myxoid tissues and can contain areas of calcification and bone formation. This tumor is usually slow-growing and benign, but can occasionally be locally aggressive or recur after surgery. Ossifying fibromyxoid tumors requires careful diagnosis and treatment planning, as it can be mistaken for other types of soft tissue tumors. In most cases, surgical removal is the preferred treatment, and follow-up imaging is necessary to monitor for recurrence.
