Abstract
Phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor (PMT) is a rare and distinctive tumor almost always associated with oncogenic osteomalacia. This tumor is often misdiagnosed due to its widely varied histomorphological spectrum. More recently the term PMT or its variants has been used whatever the histomorphological features. Herein, we present a case of a 32-year-old woman who presented with a 2-year history of oncogenic osteomalacia. The clinical examination failed to detect any tumor. The F-18 FDG PET scan and subsequent MRI revealed a tumor in the soft tissues of the right popliteal fossa. The histological features resembled a chondromyxoid fibroma (CMF), a feature documented only in two cases so far.
