Chondromyxoid Fibroma of Bone

Abstract

1. A case of chondromyxoid fibroma of the tibia is reported. 2. Initial removal by curettage was followed by regrowth of residual foci; these were removed by a second curettage three years later. Re-examination after a further three years shows no evidence of regrowth, and suggests that cure has been achieved. 3. Some histological features of the neoplasm are briefly described.

The Histology of Borderline Cancer

“…We had previously had experience with a typical chondromyxoid fibroma (Hutchison and Park, 1960). In that case the lesion was also abutting on the upper tibial epiphyseal plate but was treated by curettage alone.…”
