“…There are 62 cases of CMF arising in the cranial bones 3 and 42 cases arising in the spine. 4 We found only six cases reported in the literature of a clivus origin 5-7 and 10 cases affecting the cervical spine. 4,[8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] We believe that the case presented here is the first to document CMF originating in the clivus with extension into the atlas that subsequently required stabilization surgery.…”

“…20 CMF of the cervical spine is also treated by surgical resection. Of the 10 previous cases, 4,[8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] with levels including C2, C3, C4, C5, and C7, instability has been recognized as a potential problem with interlevel fusion performed either anteriorly or posteriorly. There is one case of CMF involving C2 associated with occipitocervical instability, which was treated with transoral resection of the tumor and occipitocervical fusion performed as a single-stage procedure.…”

Chondromyxoid fibroma (CMF) is a rare bone tumor representing less than 1% of total bone neoplasms. It is a slow-growing, locally destructive tumor that usually affects the metaphyseal region of long bones. The occurrence of this tumor in the skull base or cervical spine is exceptionally rare. We present the first case of CMF originating in the clivus and extending into the atlas and discuss the surgical management of this case.

“…Central portions of the tumor have greater cellularity and heterogeneous population of multinuclear giant cells 1,5 . The metaphysys of the long bones is the most common primary site; vertebral involvement is uncommon and occurs in only 8% of cases Only 10 cases involving the cervical spine have been reported, none in C1 (Table 1) [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] . A female preponderance was observed in patients with cervical spinal CMF, with C2 being most commonly affected.…”

Chondromyxoid fibroma of C1: first case report

et al. 2012

Background: Chondromyxoid fibroma (CMF) is a rare, benign primary bone tumor. The cervical spine is an uncommon site for this tumor, with only 10 reported cases to date and none involving the first cervical vertebra (C1). Case Report: Female patient, 25-year-old monozygotic female twin, presented with cervical pain. Radiographic imaging demonstrated a contrast-enhanced, right-sided lytic lesion of the insufflated type in C1, with a punched-out appearance and extending to the anterior arch. A postero-lateral and a posterior approach were performed in two steps to resect the tumor followed by occipitocervical fixation. Pathology confirmed the diagnosis of CMF. At one year, the patient remains disease free with excellent spinal stability. Conclusion: Spinal surgeons may need to treat rare spinal tumors. Despite the proximity to neural and vascular structures, the goal of surgery is always a radical resection due to high recurrence rates.

Chondromyxoid fibroma of the seventh cervical vertebra

Chondromyxoid fibroma is a rare benign bone tumor representing less than 0.5% of all bone tumors. It commonly involves the long tubular bones. Involvement of the spine is rare. A 35-year-old man presented with history of neck pain, restriction of neck movements, pain and numbness along the medial aspect of the left forearm and weakness with wasting of the left hand. A presumptive diagnosis of a bony tumor such as an aneurysmal bone cyst or a giant cell tumor involving the seventh vertebral body was made on plain X-rays, MRI and bone scan. He underwent C7 central corpectomy, incomplete intralesional curettage with iliac bone grafting and C6 to T1 interspinous wiring. The histological diagnosis was chondromyxoid fibroma. On eight years' follow-up, CT scan showed no progression of the tumor with good alignment and fusion of the graft at the site of the corpectomy. The authors conclude that corpectomy and iliac bone grafting for chondromyxoid fibroma has a good outcome on long-term follow-up.
