ABSTRACT
Benign mesenchymomas, exceptionally rare tumors, composed of two or more nonepithelial mesenchymal elements are not usually found together in a tumor. We report herein a rare case of benign mesenchymoma in the lower end of tibia in a 36-year-old female showing fibrous, fatty, and osseous elements.

The benign mesenchymoma, in which fibrous tissue is accompanied by two or more mesencymal components, occurs very rarely in the head and neck area. The majority appear in patients under 25 years of age, most commonly in the subcutaneous scalp, cheek, or tongue. There is a 20% recurrence rate. Wide surgical excision is the treatment of choice. We report a case of mesenchymoma in the nasopharynx which was removed by transpalatine approach with a brief review of literature.
