Abstract
Ossifying fibromyxoid tumour of soft parts (OFMT) is a recently described soft tissue tumour. Although rare it deserves recognition as a locally invasive but essentially benign neoplasm. Prior to its description in 1989 by Enzinger, ossifying fibromyxoid tumours of soft parts were classified as a wide variety of lesions, ranging from nodular fasciitis to osteosarcoma. We report a typical case of such a tumour and review current knowledge of this distinct neoplasm.
