title: Nonossifying fibromyxoid tumor of soft tissue.
abstract: A firm, painless tumor of the temporal region was excised in a 3-year-old girl. The diagnosis of nonossifying fibromyxoid tumor was established on pathologic examination, which showed that most of the cells formed cords and tubulelike structures in a myxoid background. Bone and osteoid were lacking. The child is free of recurrence 4 years after surgery.
