Bone surface is an exceptional location for chondromyxoid fibroma. Only 14 cases of juxtacortical chondromyxoid fibroma have been reported to date and, to our knowledge, none of these cases are documented with imprint cytology. We report a case of periosteal chondromyxoid fibroma located in the dist

β¦ Synopsis
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 lobulated chondromyxoid matrix with peripheral fibrosis. Two cases had local recurrences following intralesional excision. The study emphasizes that despite nuclear atypia and recurrences, CMF is a benign disease.

## Abstract Chondromyxoid fibroma of the skull base is a rare entity. Involvement of the temporal bone is particularly rare. We present an unusual case of progressive facial nerve paralysis with imaging and clinical findings most suggestive of a facial nerve schwannoma. The lesion was tubular in ap
