Published: February 2012

Chondromyxoid fibroma is a rare benign bone tumor, which represents less than 1% of primary bone tumors. However, chondromyxoid fibroma developing in the soft tissue is extremely rare. We report the sonographic findings in a case of soft tissue chondromyxoid fibroma in the foot confirmed pathologically.

Background: Benign bone lesions are a common incidental finding in athletes during workup for musculoskeletal complaints, and athletes are frequently advised to halt participation in contact sports. There are no current guidelines to assist clinicians in referring patients with these lesions to a subspecialist or in advising athletes on the safety of returning to sport.

Purpose: To assist sports medicine physicians in appropriate referral for patients with benign bone lesions through presentation of a literature review and the case of an adolescent athlete with a benign bone lesion in a location with a significant fracture risk.

Article Synopsis
  • Chondromyxoid fibromas (CMF) are rare benign bone tumors that can cause symptoms like pain or swelling, but may also be asymptomatic, making diagnosis difficult.
  • This report details a case of a 66-year-old woman whose tumor was initially misdiagnosed as a neuroma, later thought to be a low-grade osteosarcoma after surgery.
  • Ultimately, advanced testing confirmed it was a chondromyxoid fibroma, highlighting the need for thorough diagnostic approaches for accurate identification of these tumors.

Article Synopsis
  • Osteochondroma is the most prevalent benign bone tumor that can cause pain and restricted movement, especially in children, and this report examines a specific case involving an 8-year-old boy with an intra-articular osteochondroma in his elbow.
  • The boy experienced persistent pain and limited motion in his elbow, leading to surgical intervention where a mass was successfully excised, and pathology confirmed the diagnosis.
  • The report emphasizes the necessity of surgical removal and histopathological examination to correctly diagnose osteochondroma and differentiate it from other potential intra-articular conditions.

This case report presents an exceedingly rare instance of skull base chondromyxoid fibroma (CMF) managed surgically. Chondromyxoid fibromas are very rare tumors (<1% of benign bone tumors), the occurrence in the skull area being even more rare. The location of tumors at the skull base makes their surgical resection extremely challenging, usually resulting in subtotal resection (STR).
