juxtacortical chondromyxoid fibroma of bone
Monday 31 January 2011
Chondromyxoid fibroma (CMF) is a rare neoplasm of the appendicular skeleton of young adults.
It can be a poorly recognized subtype which arises on the surface of long bones and erodes the cortical surface causing a periosteal reaction.
This entity should be included in the differential diagnosis of bone surface lesions as it may be mistaken for a more aggressive neoplasm.
CMF should be included in the differential diagnosis of bone surface lesions. The clinical and radiologic findings must be known.
The morphology of this lesion is similar to conventional CMF with the exception of focal exuberant calcification.
Conservative therapy is the treatment of choice.
