Ossifying fibromyxoid tumour: a rare soft tissue tumour of intermediate malignancy.
Ossifying fibromyxoid tumours (OFTs) are uncommon soft tissue tumours. A 73-year-old male presented with a painless exophytic mass located in the left scapular area which was identified 1 year earlier. An incisional biopsy was performed and microscopic features were compatible with OFT. Radiologic evaluation revealed multiple pulmonary metastasis. Although many cases persue an indolent biologic behaviour, local recurrence and metastasis have been reported and long-term follow-up should be considered.
