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.

“…CMF is a rare benign bone tumor arising from cartilage-forming mesenchymal tissue and accounts for <1% of all bone tumors. [ 1 5 ] Jaffe and Lichtenstein described this entity for the first time in 1948. [ 6 ] It generally affects long bones of lower extremity.…”

“…The prevalence of this tumor estimates to be 1% of all primary bone tumors and mostly occurs in the long bones. [ 1 ] It mostly grows in males aged between 10 and 30 years. The most common site is around the knee joint.…”

“…Head and neck involvement is unusual and skull is extremely rare. [ 1 2 3 ] It usually manifests as a local swelling that eventually results in pathological fractures. CMF has similarity with other malignant bone tumors such as chondrosarcoma; therefore, accurate diagnosis with careful correlation of clinical, radiological, and pathological findings is very important.…”
