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 formation.
- No mitotic activity.
IHC
SOX9 positive
DDx:
- Chondroblastoma.
- Likewise has immature cartilage but (1) epiphyseal location, (2) chickenwire-like calcifications.
- Chondrosarcoma.
- Different age group.
- Mature hyaline cartilage formation.
- Tumour permeation of the surrounding bone.
- Mitotic activity.
- Phosphaturic mesenchymal tumour - case report.[4]
