Chondromyxoid Fibroma of Clavicle Presenting as Radiological Disappearance of Bone

Case?Presentation Chondromyxoid fibroma (CMF) is a relatively rare bone tumor of cartilaginous origin and it comprises less than 1% of all primary bony tumors. Clavicle is an unusual site of involvement for any bone tumor and may produce diagnostic dilemma. Approximately only 1% of all primary bone tumors may involve the clavicle. The literature on clinical features and outcome of CMF clavicle remains sparse. Conclusion?We present an unusual case of CMF clavicle in which the medial aspect of the clavicle gradually disappeared on radiographs. CMF should be included in the differential diagnoses of disappearing bone disease.

Primary chondromyxoid fibroma of the orbit: An orbital mass with calcification

Primary orbital chondromyxoid fibroma is a rarely reported entity. A 34-year-old lady presented with painless, non-axial proptosis of the left eye of 6 months duration. Orbital imaging showed a supero-temporal mass with calcific foci and bone erosion. The mass caused globe compression resulting in choroidal folds. Anterior orbitotomy with complete mass excision was performed. The histopathology revealed a chondromyxoid fibroma. At 12-months follow-up, the patient is doing fine with no clinical recurrence. Chondromyxoid fibroma is an important differential diagnosis for bony orbital tumors.

Chondromyxoid fibroma of the mandible: a case report / 华西口腔医学杂志

Chondromyxoid fibroma (CMF) is a rare benign bone tumor. This tumor mostly affects the long bones of the appendicular skeleton but rarely grows in the craniofacial region. In this article, a case of CMF of the mandible was presented to enhance our understanding of CMF. Its clinical manifestations, imaging characteristics, and treatment methods were discussed by analyzing the related literature.

Chondromyxoid fibroma of C1: first case report / Fibroma condromixóide de C1: primeiro relato de caso / Fibroma condromixoide de C1: primer caso

BACKGROUND: Chondromyxoid fibroma (CMF) is a rare, benign primary bone tumor. The cervical spine is an uncommon site for this tumor, with only 10 reported cases to date and none involving the first cervical vertebra (C1). CASE REPORT: Female patient, 25-year-old monozygotic female twin, presented with cervical pain. Radiographic imaging demonstrated a contrast-enhanced, right-sided lytic lesion of the insufflated type in C1, with a punched-out appearance and extending to the anterior arch. A postero-lateral and a posterior approach were performed in two steps to resect the tumor followed by occipitocervical fixation. Pathology confirmed the diagnosis of CMF. At one year, the patient remains disease free with excellent spinal stability. CONCLUSION: Spinal surgeons may need to treat rare spinal tumors. Despite the proximity to neural and vascular structures, the goal of surgery is always a radical resection due to high recurrence rates.

REVISÃO: O fibroma condromixóide (FCM) é um tumor ósseo primário, benigno e raro. A coluna cervical é um local incomum desse tumor, com apenas 10 casos relatados, sendo que nenhum envolveu a primeira vértebra cervical (C1). RELATO DO CASO: Paciente do sexo feminino, 25 anos, gêmea monozigótica, apresentando dor cervical. A imagem radiográfica demonstrou lesão lítica contrastada, predominantemente na massa lateral de C1 com extensão para o arco posterior e anterior. A ressecção do tumor foi feita em dois tempos, inicialmente uma abordagem postero-lateral, seguida pela via posterior. Nesta última, foi relizada uma fixação occiptocervical. O exame anátomo-patológico foi compatível com FCM. Passado um ano dos procedimentos, a paciente permanecia sem doença e com estabilidade craniocervical. CONCLUSÃO: Especialistas de coluna devem ter o conhecimento de que estes tumores raros podem acometer a coluna vertebral e, apesar da sua proximidade com tecido neural e estruturas vasculares, o objetivo da cirurgia é a sua ressecção radical devido ao alto índice de recidiva.

A Rare Case of Epiphyseal Chondromyxoid Fibroma of the Proximal Tibia

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 knowledge, never been described in an epiphyseal location, makes the present case unique.

Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis after Curettage of Juxtaphyseal Chondromyxoid Fibroma of the Femoral Neck / 대한정형외과학회잡지

Chondromyxoid fibroma is a relatively rare benign but potentially aggressive tumor of cartilagenous origin. It usually occurs in the metaphysis of the long bones and the most common site of involvement is near the growth plate of the proximal tibia. We experienced a case of chondromyxoid fibroma, which occurred in the juxtaphyseal portion of the femoral neck. It was treated by curettage and allogenic bone graft initially. Twenty-seven months after this first operation, the capital femoral epiphysis slipped, which was treated by screw fixation. Here, report a case of SCFE after curettage and bone graft for juxtaphyseal chondromyxoid fibroma at the femoral neck and include a brief review of literature.

Chondromyxoid Fibroma Involving Distal Phalanx of the Big Toe Treated with Reconstructive Surgery: A Case Report / 대한정형외과학회잡지

Chondromyxoid fibroma is a rare benign cartilaginous tumor frequently involving the metaphysis of the long bones of the lower limbs of children and adolescents. We present a case of chondromyxoid fibroma involving the entire distal phalanx of a big toe causing macrodactyly, which was treated by excision and reconstruction using iliac bone graft instead of amputation. The patient was satisfied cosmetically and there was no evidence of recurrence four years after surgery.

Chondromyxoid Fibroma: Imaging Manifestations and Pathological Analysis / 实用放射学杂志

Objective To study the imaging findings and patholoical characterizes of chondromyxoid fibroma in order to improve its differential diagnosis.Methods 8 cases with chondromyxoid fibroma had all proceeded x-ray checked before operation. Of these cases , 4 cases were examed by CT scan .All cases were confirmed by operation and pathology. The imaging findings and pathological characterizes were analysed.Results The lesions located at metaphysis of long bone and presented as a round or elliptic transparent area which were consistent with long axis of involved bone. There were osseous crests inside the lesions and sclerosis bone around the lesions. The density of lesions was homogeneous and CT numbers were about 26 HU. On histopathology,lesions presented grey. Lobular and some what transparent . In the center of lesions there were a lots of mucus and stellate cells. The lesions were surrounded by hyperplastic area including multinuclear giant cell and chondroblast fibroblast. Conclusion chondromyxoid fibroma has characterizes on imagiology and pathology , but it has often been misdiagnosed.

A Chondromyxoid Fibroma of the Fibula: A Case Report

Chondromyxoid fibroma is the least common benign bone tumor, accounting for less than 1% of all bone tumors. Pathologically, it is composed of varying proportions of chondroid, myxoid and fibrous elements. The most common anatomical site is the metaphyseal region of the long bone, and the typical radiologic appear-ance is a cortical expansile osteolytic lesion with a lobulated sclerotic margin, and septa. We report the plain and MRI findings of a relatively typical chondromyxoid fibroma occuring in the proximal fibula.

A Case of Oncogenic Osteomalacia Caused by Chondromyxoid Fibroma / 대한내분비학회지

Oncogenic osteomalacia is a rare clinicopathological condition. The syndrome is characterized by hypophosphataemic osteomalacia with hyperphosphaturia, low plasma 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D and normal plasma calcaemia and parathyroid hormone, associated with a tumor, generally of mesenchymal origin. Complete excision of the tumour results in cure of the whole syndrome. Recently we experienced 56-year-old woman with oncogenic osteomalacia caused by a chondromyxoid fibroma of the left foot. We report this case with the review of literatures.
