Abstract

Chondromyxoid fibromas are rare, benign tumours that resemble cartilage, initially arising in the cortex of affected bones (most commonly the lower limbs).1,2 Their documented incidence is less than 1 % of all primary bone tumours (approximately 2% of all benign bone tumours) with males and females being equally affected.1,2 This case series and radiological review demonstrates some of the typical findings associated with this tumour.
