Chondromyxoid Fibroma of the Distal Tibia: A Rare Case Report

20232 citationsOpen accessMohamed I University

Abstract

Chondromyxoid fibroma is one of the rarest bone tumours, occurring most frequently in adult men in their second and third decades. It generally affects the metaphysis of long bones, particularly the femur and tibia. Diagnosis can pose differential challenges with various tumor types, particularly chondrosarcoma, requiring separate management. We present a case of chondromyxoid fibroma of the distal tibia detected by soft tissue swelling. Clinical, epidemiological and radiological aspects will be discussed.
