Pediatr Hematol Oncol. 1994 Jul-Aug;11(4):451-4. doi: 10.3109/08880019409140547.

Abstract

A firm, painless tumor of the temporal region was excised in a 3-year-old girl. The diagnosis of nonossifying fibromyxoid tumor was established on pathologic examination, which showed that most of the cells formed cords and tubulelike structures in a myxoid background. Bone and osteoid were lacking. The child is free of recurrence 4 years after surgery.
