“…[2] The first reported case of CMF in the jaw bones was by Srivastava in 1955. [6] To our knowledge, approximately 35 intracranial cases and 25 cases involving the jaw bones have been reported, but only 2 cases involving the extragnathic site in the facial skeleton exclusive of cranium are reported. [2] Only two cases of CMF in the zygoma have been reported till date in English literature.…”

“…When this tumor is small and localized in the facial skeleton, many authors recommend curettage followed by a strict follow-up to avoid cosmetic and functional sequelae of bone resection. [16] Malignant transformation of these cases is rare with no documented cases. [23] In the present case, the tumor neatly shelled out exposing the raw bone surface, showing an area of bone involvement.…”

Chondromyxoid fibroma (CMF) is a rare benign mesenchymal tumor of the bone. Clinically, it is characterized by a lobular growth pattern and histologically by chondroid and myxoid differentiation. The tumor is rare in the craniofacial bones with only 2% of all reported cases. Extragnathic location in the facial skeleton is extremely rare. Most of the cases reported either originate from gnathic sites or in the cranium. A case of CMF in a 3½-year-old male is presented here, which arose from the root of zygomatic arch. A detailed clinical history and histopathological picture of one more case is added to the literature. It is important to document such cases so that better light can be shed on future reviews and conclusions. This shall facilitate better treatment approaches and prognosis. This case is the first reported case of involvement of the zygomatic arch in a pediatric patient.

“…In 1948, this disease was initially described and named on the basis of 8 cases by Jaffe and Lichenstein, [ 2 , 3 ] who found that this tumor, although was similar to chondrosarcoma, showed benign clinical characters. [ 4 ] CMF occurs more frequently in males at the age of 20 to 30 years. [ 5 ] It often involves long bones, flat bones, and craniofacial bones, [ 3 , 5 ] with higher morbidity in long bones, especially in paroxysmal tibia and distal femur.…”

Introduction:Chondromyxoid fibrotherma (CMF) is a rare benign cartilage tumor that occurs more frequently in young males at the age of 20 to 30. It occurs more frequently on long bones, but rarely involves craniofacial bones.Case presentation:This study mainly introduced a 30-year-old male with CMF of zygomatic bone. Single tumor excochleation was conducted initially. However, CMF reoccurred, and then the following steps were adopted: firstly, the tumor was extensively excised; secondly, in vitro tumor excochleation was conducted; thirdly, the excised tumor bone was placed in liquid nitrogen for 3 cycles of cryoablation; finally, the orthotopic transplantation was performed to reconstruct the zygomatic appearance, with satisfactory follow-up efficacy obtained.Conclusions:Orthotopic transplantation after tumorectomy and cryopreservation of tumor bone in liquid nitrogen could lead to excellent therapeutic efficacy and deserves to be widely applied in clinical practice in the treatment of a male patient with CMF of zygomatic bone, because it not only radically eliminates the tumor and kills tumor cells, but also provides bony skeleton for the growth of new bone, thus greatly promoting postoperative aesthetic degree and reducing the occurrence rates of complications.

Chondromyxoid fibroma (CF) is a benign bone tumor of cartilaginous origin and is considered the least common of cartilage-derived neoplasms. The lesion's most frequent location is in long bones, while involvement of craniofacial skeleton is extremely unusual. It generally appears in the second and third decade of life and most frequent in men. We present the case of a 68-year-old female with a CF of the zygomatic region. The resection of the tumor and reconstruction of the defect is described.
