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

Molecular

  • Activating rearrangements of GRM1 (metabotropic glutamate receptor 1)[5]
