Abstract

Liposclerosing myxofibrous tumor (LSMFT) is a rare benign fibro-osseous lesion. Asymptomatic lesions may not require specific surgery, whereas symptomatic lesions are generally treated with curettage and bone graft with good prognosis. A small risk of malignant transformation remains, and follow-up is warranted. Characteristically seen on radiograph/CT as a well-defined osteolytic lesion with a thick sclerotic border and mild to moderately increased radiotracer activity in the lesion on a delayed phase of bone scintigraphy, SPECT/CT often helps in precise characterization of the lesion.
