Physical examination revealed a round mass on the back measuring approximately 2 \u00d7 2 cm. Laboratory tests showed low blood phosphorus, elevated synchronous urinary phosphorus, and elevated alkaline phosphatase levels. The mass was detected using magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasound, and it was subsequently surgically excised. Following surgery, phosphate levels returned to normal, bone pain was relieved, and pathology confirmed phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor (PMT). A literature review identified only 33 cases of soft-tissue TIO occurring in the trunk, with a mean age of 49.7 \u00b1 15.6 years and a male-to-female ratio of 23:10. Bone pain was present in 91% of patients, and diagnostic delay of more than two years was observed in 72.4% of cases. The mean preoperative serum phosphorus level was 0.48 \u00b1 0.137 mmol\/L, and the median tumor size was 3 cm (IQR: 2\u20134.65 cm). Postoperative remission of biochemical indices and clinical symptoms was observed in 96.9% of patients, with no recurrence during the follow-up period. The majority of tumors (72.7%) were pathologically diagnosed as PMT.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Soft-tissue TIO of the trunk is rare.
