Chondromyxoid Fibroma of the Ethmoid Sinus Complicated by a Brain Abscess

Chondromyxoid fibroma (CMF) is a relatively rare bone tumor that was first described by Jaffe and Lichtenstein in 1948. CMF of the sinonasal tract is very rare. A 28-year-old male presented with long-standing, intermittent, pulsatile pain in the right temporal area. A computed tomography scan showed a 20 × 19 mm round, bony density in the right ethmoid sinus with fluid collection in the ethmoid...

Chondromyxoid fibroma.

Chondromyxoid fibroma is an uncommon benign cartilaginous tumor accounting for less than 1% of all bone tumors. The classic site of involvement is the metaphyseal region of long tubular bones, usually presenting in the second to third decades of life with nonspecific pain and swelling of the affected part. This case is an interesting incidental finding in a juvenile hallux abductovalgus deformi...

Chondromyxoid Fibroma

This case report describes a rare bony cervical tumor, chondromyxoid fibroma (CMF) which has features of an aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC). The true etiology of CMF and ABC is unknown. The aneurismal bone cyst may be the result of a specific pathophysiologic change, which is probably the result of trauma or a tumor-induced anomalous vascular process. In approximately one third of cases, the preexis...

Cystic Shape Cemento-Ossifying Fibroma of Ethmoid Sinus.

Cemento-ossifying fibromas are a group of rarely occurring benign tumours, developing from the periodontal membrane and varying considerably in appearance and in the progress of the disease. Their common feature is higher or lower production of cemental tissue. In most cases the tumours are small because their cementoma mature quickly and become inactive, which causes the tumour to stop growing...
