Ossifying fibromyxoid tumor: morphology, genetics, and differential diagnosis

Ossifying fibromyxoid tumor (OFMT) is a soft tissue neoplasm of uncertain differentiation and intermediate (rarely metastasizing) biologic potential, with typical morphologic features, of an encapsulated, lobulated tumor comprising uniform polygonal cells within fibromyxoid stroma, which is surrounded by or contains metaplastic bone, classically as a peripheral rim of lamellar bone. Ossifying fibromyxoid tumor can arise at almost any site, although most frequently occurs within the extremities and trunk.
