“…The tumor usually arises in young adults in the second or third decade of life and affects both sexes equally [8,9], although some authors have described a slight male predominance [5,14]. The lesion primarily presents as painful and sometimes as a tender mass.…”

CMF is a rare neoplasm of bone, comprising less than 1% of primary bone tumors. The neoplasm was first described in 1948 by Jaffe and Lichtenstein as a separate entity from chondrosarcomas, having slightly different plain film characteristics and a benign clinical course. As of 1985, Kreicbergs, Lonnquist, and Willems estimated that approximately 400 cases have been published. Recently, we encountered a CMF with an unusual clinical presentation. The efficacy of MRI studies is shown.

“…They recognized it as being distinct from chondrosarcoma and histologically resembling the myxoma of bone described earlier by Bloodgood [9,10]. This distinction was important since the tumor was easily mistaken for a sarcoma and subsequent treatment could be much too aggressive [2,5,9,17]. In recent times~ this tumor has been well described and differentiated from myxoma, myxosarcoma, fibromyxoma, chondrosarcoma, and chondromyxosarcoma.…”

“…In most large series, it has comprised fewer than 1% of the documented bone tumors [2,4,6,14,15]. To date, only about 400 cases have been reported [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][17][18][19][20].…”

A study of 76 chondromyxoid fibromas affirms that it is a benign tumor, apparently of cartilaginous derivation, that is most likely to occur in adolescents and young adults. Although a wide skeletal distribution has been observed, the lesion most often affects major limb bones, especially the tibia. The characteristic but somewhat complex histologic range of this lesion, coupled with its benign appearance on roentgenograms, allows ready distinction from other tumors, most importantly chondrosarcoma. The lesion is somewhat more aggressive and considerably more likely to recur in young patients, but adequate local resection nearly always can forestall such recurrence. Malignant transformation is extremely improbable.
