- Abstract
Chondromyxoid fibroma is a rare benign bone tumor with cartilaginous origin characterized by the association of chondroid lobes, fibrous, and myxoid areas. It represents 1% of bone tumors and 1.8% of benign bone tumors. The cardinal symptom in its identification is the presence of pain that can be several months or years of evolution, in many cases it is discovered incidentally by radiological studies. It is essential to establish a good differential diagnosis prior to any type of treatment; the main differential clinical conditions include aneurysmal bone cyst, enchondroma, giant cell tumor, fibrous dysplasia, fibromixoid chondroma, and chondroblastoma. We present the clinical case of a male patient who was diagnosed with chondromyxoid fibroma in a rare anatomical region and who also presented recurrence at the site of application of intercalar grafting with an atypical behavior.
