| 摘要 |
Chondromyxoid fibroma (CMF) is a rare benign cartilaginous tumor constituting approximately 0.5-1% of primary bone lesions. It commonly arises in the metaphysic of long bones in adults younger than 30 years of age. The definite diagnosis of CMF may not be achieved before biopsy, because the differential diagnosis is extremely broad. We presented a 21-year-old male patient with a tender oval mass in the fibular head region. From the radiographic and MR-image expressions, giant cell tumor was highly suspected prior to the operation. Wide resection was performed in order to prevent the high local recurrence and occasional malignant tendencies of the giant cell tumor. However, the pathological reports turned out to be CMF. Nevertheless, the decision to use wide resection instead of simple curettage might be beneficial to the patient, because the rate of local recurrence of CMF has been reported as high as 11%. |
