- Abstract
We reported a case of the ossifying fibromyxoid tumor of soft parts which occurred in the anterior chest wall in a 70-year-old Japanese woman. Radiographic examination revealed that it demonstrated a large oval mass with well-circumscribing shell-like margin. Macroscopic findings showed that the specimen revealed a multi-lobular structure with surrounding bone formation. Spindle or oval hypocellular fibroblastic cells in a myxoid background were observed in the histological examination. Those cells were positive for keratin and S-100 protein. On these bases, the tumor was diagnosed as an ossifying fibromyxoid tumor of soft parts. No local recurrence of the tumor has been observed at seven years postoperatively. As the histogenesis and the clinical characteristic of the tumor remained obscure, total tumor resection and regular clinical follow up has to be the appropriate management of the tumor at present.
