Chondromyxoid Fibroma of the Distal Tibia: A Rare Case Report

“…Initially characterized by Jaffe and Lichtenstein [1], CMF exhibits variable proportions of cartilaginous and fibromyxoid tissues. It predominantly afflicts adults in their middle years, around the age of 30, although it can also manifest in children and the elderly [9,10]. Notably, there is a male predominance, with a sex ratio of 2:1.…”

“…The cortex is frequently blown and thinned into a shell. Cases of cortical effraction have been reported [9,10,12]. Intratumoral calcifications are exceptional, occurring in only 1.5% to 3% of cases according to documented series [9].…”

“…Cases of cortical effraction have been reported [9,10,12]. Intratumoral calcifications are exceptional, occurring in only 1.5% to 3% of cases according to documented series [9]. Cross-sectional imaging modalities such as computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) do not allow a positive diagnosis, although MRI remains a sensitive technique for the detection of bone tumors.…”
