L. Bernd et al., MALIGNANT CHONDROMYXOID FIBROMA - FACT OR FANCY - PRESENTATION OF 7 CASES AND REVIEW OF LITERATURE, Der Unfallchirurg, 97(6), 1994, pp. 332-335
The chondromyxoid fibroma as a benign bone tumour is described. The di
fficult but extremely important differential diagnosis from chondrosar
coma is discussed, and the question of the existence of malignant chon
dromyxoid fibroma is examined. Cases of malignant chondromyxoid fibrom
a that have been reported in the literature are described and critical
ly analysed. Experience with seven chondromyxoid fibromas and two tumo
urs misdiagnosed as malignant chondromyxoid fibromas are described. In
view of the clear definition of chondromyxoid fibroma and chondrosarc
oma the term malignant chondromyxoid fibroma is not justified and shou
ld no longer be used.
