Overview

NCI Definition: A soft tissue tumor of uncertain lineage characterized by the presence of neoplastic spindle-shaped to round cells in a fibromyxoid stroma. Metaplastic bone formation may or may not be present. [1]

Fibromyxoid tumors most frequently harbor alterations in PTEN, WHSC1, RPTOR, RB1, and PHF1 [2].
