in the axial skeleton. Fibroma, aneurysmal bone cyst, chondroblastoma and fibrous dysplasia must be evaluated in the radiographic differential diagnosis of chondromyxoid fibroma. Being an eccentric metaphyseal location, showing sharp, sclerotic, scalloped margins and matrix calcification are its major radiographic features. In pathological evaluation, the tumour shows a distinctly lobulated pat...
