Chondromyxoid fibroma is a rare benign chondro-osseous tumour typically found in the metaphysis of teenagers or young adults.
General
- Uncommon and benign.[1]
- Teenagers or young adults.
Gross
- Metaphyseal lesion - classic location.[2]
- Well-circumscribed.
- Fragments of white-grey rubbery tissue
Microscopic
Features:[3]
- Spindle cells or stellate cells in a myxoid or chondroid stroma.
- Lobules with hypocellular centers and hypercellular peripheries.
- Giant cells in the hypercellular periphery
- Scattered calcifications
- No true hyaline cartilage matrix
- Lack of mitotic activity
DDx:
- Phosphaturic mesenchymal tumour - case report.[4]
- Chondroblastoma
- Also produces immature cartilage but
- Epiphyseal location
- Chicken-wire calcifications
- Chondrosarcoma
- Different age group
- Mature hyaline cartilage formation
- Tumor permeation of the surrounding bone
- Mitotic activity
