A Rare Case of Epiphyseal Chondromyxoid Fibroma of the Proximal Tibia
نویسندگان
چکیده
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.

Chondromyxoid Fibroma: A Rare Case Report and Review of Literature
Chondromyxoid fibroma (CMF) is one of the rarest benign tumors of cartilaginous origin. It accounts for less than 0.5% of bone tumors and less than two percent of benign bone tumors. It is composed of a mixture of chondroid, myxoid, and fibrous tissues. The diagnosis of CMF depends upon its characteristic histological appearance like a lobular pattern with stellate-shaped cells in a myxoid or c...

Chondromyxoid fibroma (CMF) is a very rare benign cartilaginous tumor representing less than 0.5% of all bone tumors while also being the rarest cartilaginous bone tumor. Common locations of occurrence include the metaphysical region of the proximal tibia and distal femur. We report a case of a 10-year-old female affected by a CMF of the left lower tibia. The radiological features demonstrated ...
متن کاملLytic Lesion in the Femoral Epiphysis of a Young Patient with Anorexia: A Case Report
Epiphyseal tumours in young patients are a diagnostic challenge, largely due to their rarity. The differential diagnosis for a lytic lesion with well-defined margins at the epiphysis of a long bone in a young patient should fundamentally include three lesions typically found at the epiphysis: chondroblastoma, giant-cell tumour of bone and clear cell chondrosarcoma. Other conditions to consider ...
