Chondromyxoid fibroma (CMF) is an exceedingly rare tumor that represents less than 1% of all primary bone neoplasms. Occurrence in the facial and cranial bones is extremely rare and frequently misdiagnosed. Case Reports We report two cases of CMF, one in the sphenoclival skull base and the other involving the parietal bone in two young female patients. Excision was performed in both cases. Pres...

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...

BACKGROUND Chondromyxoid fibroma (CMF) is an extremely rare, benign cartilaginous tumor that makes up <0.5% of all bone tumors, typically presenting in the second or third decade of life. CMF of the sacrum is exceedingly rare, with only seven documented cases reported in the neurosurgical literature. CASE DESCRIPTION We report a case of a 35-year-old female with a 3 month history of lower bac...

We studied matrix composition and gene expression pattern in chondromyxoid fibromas on the protein and the messenger RNA levels. We could clearly identify focal chondrocytic differentiation within chondromyxoid fibroma by the expression and deposition of type II collagen, which is a marker of chondrocytic cell differentiation. We also were able to show expression of collagen types I, III, and V...

Chondromyxoid fibroma is an unusual tumour occurring in the metaphysis of long bones. It a locally painful benign cartilaginous lesion with high recurrence rate, not known to undergo malignant transformation. Involvement cranial bones and Sino nasal region by this extremely rare. We present case chondromyxoid young male, arising from septum which very site for tumour.

Chondromyxoid fibroma is a rare benign cartilaginous neoplasm that mostly affects the metaphyseal region of the long bones. The tibia, small tubular bones of the foot, the distal femur and pelvis are common locations, but involvement of the vertebral bones, especially the cervical vertebra, is very rare. Radiographic features show typical characteristics and this tumor often presents as a lobul...

Chondromyxoid fibroma is an uncommon benign cartilaginous tumor of the bone. It occurs most frequently in the metaphysis of long tubular bones, and an epiphyseal location is exceedingly rare. We present here an unusual case of a chondromyxoid fibroma that occurred in the epiphysis of the proximal tibia with an open growth plate. MR imaging findings of this tumor, which has, to the best of our k...

Chondromyxoid fibroma is an unusual benign tumor of cartilaginous tissues that may be confused with other some malign tumors. It is rarely seen in the skull. A 45-year-old female was admitted with painless bony swelling in the forehead. Computerized tomography demonstrated a well-defined expansive lesion with a sclerotic margin measuring approximately 3 cm in diameter in the right frontal bone....
