Plexiform fibromyxoma (PF) is a rare mesenchymal tumor of which the pathogenesis and molecular changes are still unclear. Histologically, it is characterized by a cluster of bland spindle or ovoid cells growing in the mucoid or fibromyxoid stroma rich in small blood vessels. At present, surgical resection is the primary treatment for PF.
