In this study, a case of fibromyxoma of the proximal femur in a 59-year old woman is reported. The classification of this rare bone tumour is still a matter of debate and some investigators have suggested that these lesions represent a degenerative form of fibrous dysplasia. Some authors make a further distinction between fibromyxoma and myxoma of bone. In a review of 23 cases of fibromyxoma an...

Superficial acral fibromyxoma is a benign and slow-growing solitary soft-tissue neoplasm. Since being described in 2001, more than 100 cases of superficial acral fibromyxoma on the foot have been reported worldwide, none of which have been reported in the podiatric medical literature. Only nine cases of superficial acral fibromyxoma have been reported with presentation on the plantar heel. We r...

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...

BACKGROUND Odontogenic fibromyxoma is an uncommon benign tumor arising from the maxillofacial bones. Fibromyxomas are rare in children under 10 years of age. Although this tumor is reported most frequently in the mandible for the general population, it has rarely been reported in the mandible in children <10 years of age. METHODS We reviewed the 39 reported cases of odontogenic fibromyxoma in...

Fibromyxoma represents a rare benign neoplasm that mostly affects the posterior region of the mandible. Here, we report the case of a 46-year-old male with a swelling of the right maxilla. After proper diagnosis, he was treated with enucleation and curettage of the tumor. The defect was filled with a pedicled buccal fat pad flap. The mesenchymal origin from the dental follicle of the fibromyxom...

Odontogenic fibromyxoma is a rare and locally-invasive benign neoplasm found exclusively in the jaws. It has the potential for extensive bony destruction and extension into the surrounding structures. In the presented case, radiographic and histological features as well as the treatment and follow-up of odontogenic fibromyxoma accompanying odontogenic cyst of mandible in an 8-year-old boy are d...

A captive bred red tail boa (Boa constrictor constrictor) was presented with a large intraoral mass originating from the buccal gingiva, attached to the right dentary teeth row. Based on the clinical features and histological examination, the diagnosis of a peripheral odontogenic fibromyxoma was made. Sections of liver biopsies and circulating lymphocytes contained relatively few eosinophilic i...

Plexiform fibromyxoma is a very rare mesenchymal tumor of the stomach, found almost exclusively in the antrum/pylorus region. The most common presenting symptoms are anemia, hematemesis, nausea and unintentional weight loss, without sex or age predilection. We describe here two cases of plexiform fibromyxoma, involving a 16-year-old female and a 34-year-old male. Both patients underwent complet...
