Chondromyxoid fibroma of rib with a novel chromosomal translocation: a report of four additional cases at unusual sites
BACKGROUND Chondromyxoid fibromas (CMFs) are rare benign chondroid/myxoid matrix-producing tumors that occur in metaphyses of long tubular bones, and very rarely in small bones of hands and feet. Flat bone involvement is even more uncommon. Prior cytogenetic analyses have identified complex abnormalities involving chromosome 6 in the majority of cases. METHODS A search for CMF over an 8-year ...
متن کاملMyeloid sarcoma: a report of four cases at unusual sites
Background: Myeloid sarcoma (MS) or granulocytic sarcoma is a rare tumor consisting of myeloid blasts with or without maturation occurring at anatomic sites other than the bone marrow. MS can involve any organ system but shows a predilection for skin, bone, and soft tissues of head and neck region. Case report: We report four cases of MS occurring at unusual sites, out of which three were de no...
متن کاملChondromyxoid fibroma of rib; report of an unusual benign primary tumor.
Metastatic tumors in ribs are fairly common and if the primary neoplasm is recognized the diagnosis of metastasis is usually not difficult and can be confirmed by aspiration biopsy. Primary tumors in ribs, on the other hand, are much less common and frequently no definite diagnosis can be made until the neoplasm is resected and submitted to a competent pathologist. In reviewing the available li...
متن کاملChondromyxoid fibroma with secondary aneurysmal bone cyst of the rib.
Chondromyxoid fibroma (CMF) is a rare, benign cartilaginous tumor, comprising less than 1% of primary bone tumors, and usually occurs in the metaphysis of a long tubular bone around the knee. We report a rare case of CMF of the rib. The patient was a 25-year-old man who visited the hospital for left upper back pain. Roentgenography revealed an 8-cm mass in the left upper lung field; computed to...
متن کاملComputed Tomography Imaging Diagnosis of the Left Rib Chondromyxoid Fibroma: a case report
Chondromyxoid fibroma is a rare benign bone tumor. The etiology of chondromyxoid fibroma is still unknown. We report a case of a 26-year-old male who suffered from chronic cough for a year. His chest radiograph showed a lobulated tumor over the left seventh rib. The computed tomography (CT) examinat ion further revealed an osteolytic tumor arising from the left seventh rib with calcified matrix...
