Zusammenfassung: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. 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. The ossifying fibromyxoid tumor of soft tissue is exceptional, microscopic diagnosis and management is challenging, considering the scarcity of the tumor. More cases and retrospective studies are needed to understand the pathogenesis and to determine optimal treatment regimens. •Clinical, gross and microscopic examinations of ossifying fibromyxoid tumor.
