✦ Synopsis

Abstract

A new case of chondromyxoid fibroma of the jaws is reported, and the current world literature on chondromyxoid fibroma is reviewed. Chondromyxoid fibroma is a rare tumor arising from cartilage‐forming mesenchymal tissue. In the long bones, it has frequently been confused with chondrosarcoma or benign chondroblastoma. When it occurs in the jaws, apparent confusion with myxomas or myxofibromas may result. In the jaws the neoplasm typically occurs in the mandible. Initial symptoms are pain or a slowly growing expansile mass. After evaluation of the natural history of these lesions, a conservative approach to surgical therapy is advocated.

Chondromyxoid fibroma (CMF) can be confused with a malignant tumor because of its potential for recurrence and occasional nuclear atypia. This study of 10 cases of CMF comprises 6 men and 4 women, with a mean age of 24.3 years. Tibia was the preferred site of involvement. The histology showed lobula

## Abstract Chondromyxoid fibroma is a rare benign bone tumor, which represents less than 1% of primary bone tumors. However, chondromyxoid fibroma developing in the soft tissue is extremely rare.

Desmoplastic fibroma of the jaws is a rare and locally aggressive tumor that has a high rate of recurrence. The cellularity, extent of the tumor, and completeness of the local excision may be factors in its tendency to recur. We reviewed the literature in an attempt to determine if there was any cor

## Abstract ## BACKGROUND. Chondroblastoma (CB) and chondromyxoid fibroma (CMF) are benign tumors of bone morphologically recapitulating cartilage differentiation. CMF can resemble high‐grade central chondrosarcoma (HGCCS) because of its cellular atypia. The mechanism that drives this morphologic
