Cytodiagnosis of Chondromyxoid Fibroma of the Metatarsal Head: A Case Report

Chondromyxoid fibroma (CMF) is a rare benign cartilaginous tumor with a predilection for the bones of lower extremities and about one fourth of the tumors involve the foot.Radiologically, an eccentric lytic lesion with well defined margins is seen in the metaphysis of the bone. We hereby, report an 18 yr old young male who presented to Orthopedic Outpatient Department, JN Medical College, Aliga...

Chondromyxoid fibroma of the second metacarpal bone--a case report.

This report describes a chondromyxoid fibroma of the second metacarpal bone in a 32-year-old female patient. Chondromyxoid fibroma is a rare, benign, slow-growing bone tumor of cartilaginous origin. Tumor has a high recurrance rate. Our aim was to show successful treatment of a metacarpal chondromyxoid fibroma with wide resection and implantation of finger join endoprosthesis.

Computed 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...

Chondromyxoid fibroma involving the sphenoid sinus: Case report and literature review

We present the case of a 62-year-old woman with chondromyxoid fibroma of the sphenoid sinus. Chondromyxoid fibroma is a rare bone tumor found most prevalently in long bones, so its presence at the cranial base is especially uncommon. The presence of a monoclonal gammopathy of undermined significance (MGUS) prompted consideration and investigation of a plasma cell disorder; however, CT and MRI f...

Chondromyxoid Fibroma of the Ethmoid Sinus

Cell biology and matrix biochemistry of chondromyxoid fibroma.

We studied matrix composition and gene expression pattern in chondromyxoid fibromas on the protein and the messenger RNA levels. We could clearly identify focal chondrocytic differentiation within chondromyxoid fibroma by the expression and deposition of type II collagen, which is a marker of chondrocytic cell differentiation. We also were able to show expression of collagen types I, III, and V...
