HighlightsOssifying fibromyxoid tumor of soft parts (OFMT) has an uncertain histopathogenesis and is characterized by a peripheral bone shell embedded in a fibromyxoid matrix.Folpe and Weiss proposed a classification with “typical”, “atypical” and “malignant” variants.The exam revealed a right perimastoid mass formation (2.2 × 1.2 × 2 cm) with an oval morphology, extended right to the back of the external ear canal, characterized by the predominant calcific component.The cytoplasm is described as a poorly eosinophilic, arranged to form solid nests and cords immersed in abundant collagenous and/or myxoid stroma, interposed in a mature irregularly shaped trabecular bone.Considering that it is extremely rare, and the possibility of local metastasis especially for the malignant type, we believe that more studies are required for this “enigmatic” tumor.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
