Chondromyxoid fibroma
Chondromyxoid fibroma is very rare and usually occurs before age 30. The appearance on imaging studies, which is usually eccentric, sharply circumscribed, lytic, and located near the end of long bones, suggests the diagnosis of chondromyxoid fibroma. The proximal tibia and iliac wing are typical locations. Treatment of chondromyxoid fibroma after biopsy is surgical excision or curettage, often use of an adjuvant (eg,phenol, liquid nitrogen, use of an argon beam), and bone grafting.
