Abstract

Chondromyxoid fibroma (CMF) is an exceedingly rare benign tumor of cartilaginous origin accounting for less than 1% of all primary bone tumors and less than 2% of benign bone tumors. Chondromyxoid fibroma occurs mostly in the long bones of appendicular skeleton, but occurrence in craniofacial and gnathic regions is even rare. The craniofacial skeleton involved by CMF are maxilla, mandible, frontal, orbital floor, ethmoid, parietal, petrous, sphenoid pterygopalatine fossa, mastoid, occipital, and zygoma bones of skull. A case of CMF involving the mandible in a 50 year old female patient is presented.
