Article Abstract
Case: A healthy, 19-year-old woman was incidentally found to have a large, destructive tumor of T11 without neurologic symptoms. Biopsy demonstrated fibrocartilaginous mesenchymoma (FCM). The patient was treated with resection including subtotal corpectomy and T8-L1 fusion with use of cage and allograft strut construct. The patient remained without recurrence over 3 years of follow-up.
Conclusion: FCM arising from the spine is a rare tumor, of which this is the sixth report. FCM affects primarily young adults and is benign but locally aggressive, requiring complete excision to prevent recurrence.

Article Synopsis
- - A 19-year-old woman was found to have a large tumor at the T11 spine, identified as fibrocartilaginous mesenchymoma (FCM) after a biopsy, despite having no neurological symptoms.
- - She underwent surgical treatment that involved removing most of her spine vertebra (subtotal corpectomy) and a fusion from T8 to L1 using a cage and allograft strut.
- - FCM is a rare, locally aggressive tumor that primarily affects young adults and requires complete removal to prevent recurrence; this case marks only the sixth known instance.

Fibrocartilaginous mesenchymoma (FM) is a rare bone tumor mimicking other fibrocartilaginous lesions on imaging and histologically. Hence, it is difficult to diagnose this entity especially on small biopsies. In this article, we report a case of FM mimicking desmoplastic fibroma on biopsy.
