Abstract:
Ossifying fibromyxoid tumor is rare soft tissue neoplasm of an uncertain histogenesis, and this was first described in 1989. The majority of the reported cases have involved the soft tissue of the extremities. We present here on a case of atypical ossifying fibromixoid tumor that had invaded the spine and we report on its management and outcome. We also review the relevant literature.
