Sumario:INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE: The ossifying fibromyxoid tumor of soft tissue is a rare tumor of intermediate differentiation and uncertain lineage that occurs in adults mostly in the extremities and the trunk. PRESENTATION OF CASE: we present a case of 57 year-old man presenting with a right scapular mass. It was a subcutaneous and painless mass that was largely excised. The diagnosis of ossifying fibromyxoid tumor of the right shoulder was made. The follow up of 1 year was without recurrence and metastasis. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: The ossifying fibromyxoid tumor of soft tissue is exceptional, microscopic diagnosis and management is challenging, considering the scarcity of the tumor. CONCLUSION: More cases and retrospective studies are needed to understand the pathogenesis and to determine optimal treatment regimens.
