Chondromyxoid fibroma is a rare benign Primary tumour occurring in the calcaneum. We report case of 23-year-old woman with 3 months history sudden onset right heel pain no trauma. Which was exacerbated by movement such as walking and standing. A radiographic examination foot ankle revealed lesion posterior part The calcaneum further evaluated using an MRI scan which lytic clearly defined border...

Chondromyxoid fibroma of frontal bone is a rare lesion. Plain skull films showed a round radiolucent mass with a sclerotic margin. It was dense on plain CT scan and showed no convincing contrast enhancement. MR imaging showed low signal intensity relative to gray matter on T1-weighted image (500/20), isointensity on proton-density image (2000/30), high intensity on T2-weighted image, and marked...

INTRODUCTION Cartilaginous tumors involving the small bones of the hands and feet are usually benign such as enchondroma, chondromyxoid fibroma and chondroblastoma. The small bones of the hands and feet are rarely involved by primary chondrosarcoma. Proximal phalanges are the most common sites in the hands, but the fourth digit is the least common site. CASE PRESENTATION We report a case of a...

Chondromyxoid fibroma is the least common benign tumour of cartilage derivation. In 1948 it was described by Jaffe and Lichtenstein as a distinctive entity; formerly it was classified as myxoma (Bloodgood 1924) or a myxomatous variant ofgiant-cell tumour, or mistaken for a malignant lesion, especially chondrosarcoma, chondromyxosarcoma or myxosarcoma. The few cases reported recently in the lite...

Chondromyxoid fibroma (CMF) is a very rare benign cartilaginous tumor representing less than 0.5% of all bone tumors while also being the rarest cartilaginous bone tumor. Common locations of occurrence include the metaphysical region of the proximal tibia and distal femur. We report a case of a 10-year-old female affected by a CMF of the left lower tibia. The radiological features demonstrated ...

Chondromyxoid fibroma, a benign neoplasm of bone, has a histological appearance that suggests something much more malign. Indeed, this entity, named by Jaffe and Lichtenstein (1948), was recognised by them during a restudy oftheir own material filed as chondrosarcoma. Until their description and definition of this lesion, there is little doubt that many a patient suffered unnecessarily radical ...
