Objective: To report a rare case of ossifying fibromyxoid tumor of soft tissue in Kuwait. Clinical Presentation and Intervention: A 60-year-old woman presented with a painless tumor, increasing in size and located in the left buttock, which had been present for an uncertain duration. The patient underwent an excisional biopsy. Pathological examination revealed a 7.5-cm well-circumscribed mass w...

477 nodular lesion with a well-defined margin, but had no erosion, eschar, or bleeding. In addition, it did not invade the periungual or subungual region. Furthermore, it had a soft surface with soft tissue adhesion. There were no notable findings on radiography nor a family history. However, the patient did have a severalyear history of tinea pedis. The patient scratched the itching area, resu...

Ossifying fibromyxoid tumor (OFMT) is a rare soft tissue tumor of uncertain histogenesis, occurring predominantly in deep soft tissues of the extremities. Typically, OFMT presents in adults on the extremities or trunk, as a deep soft tissue mass. Less appreciated is the fact that OFMT may also present as a mass in the superficial subcutis or dermis. We herein report a female who presented with ...

Superficial acral fibromyxoma (SAF) is a rare, distinctive, benign soft tissue tumor with a predilection for the hands and feet, first described by Fetsch et al. in 2001. Histologically, SAF tumors are unencapsulated, mostly located in the dermis or subcutis, and composed of spindled and stellate-shaped cells with random, loose storiform and fascicular growth patterns. The stromal component of ...

Fibromyxoma of bone is a rare benign tumor of fibrous tissue origin. The typical location is the jaws. Sporadic extragnathic cases have been reported, but fibromyxoma of the spine has not been reported. The histological appearance of fibromyxoma is benign and includes abundant extracellular fibrous and myxoid stroma with varying amounts of calcification and ossification. Myxoid changes are usua...

INTRODUCTION Ossifying fibromyxoid tumor (OFMT) is a rare lesion that generally occurs in the soft tissues of proximal limbs, head or neck and presents as a slowly growing mass. Abdominal or trunk locations are extremely rare. PRESENTATION OF CASE We report a case of 50-year-old man who presented with a painless, slow growing epigastric mass for 5 years. Radiologic assessment revealed a well ...

Purpose Fibromyxomas and myxomas are benign tumors of mesenchymal origin usually found outside the nervous system, most commonly in the atrium of the heart. They can also arise in the mandible or maxilla, but it is exceedingly rare to find them within the skull base. The history, histologic features, and the literature, with emphasis on other pediatric cases, are reviewed for this uncommon skul...

BACKGROUND Ossifying fibromyxoid tumor of soft parts (OFMT), is a rare but morphologically distinctive neoplasm of uncertain histogenesis that most frequently affects middle-aged male adults. Clinically, it usually presents as a slowly enlarging, small, circumscribed mass, which in most cases is painless. OFMT is most frequently found within the subcutaneous tissues of extremities or trunk, and...

Chondromyxoid fibroma is the least common benign tumour of cartilage derivation. In 1948 it was described by Jaffe and Lichtenstein as a distinctive entity; formerly it was classified as myxoma (Bloodgood 1924) or a myxomatous variant ofgiant-cell tumour, or mistaken for a malignant lesion, especially chondrosarcoma, chondromyxosarcoma or myxosarcoma. The few cases reported recently in the lite...

A 66-year-old man was diagnosed with a gastric submucosal tumor. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) revealed an iso/hypoechoic mass in the third layer. No malignant cells were detected in a histological examination. Yearly follow-up endoscopy and EUS showed the slow growth of the tumor. Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) was performed and a glistening tumor was resected. The lesion showed a multin...
