Chondromyxoid fibroma of nasal septum: A case report

Abstract

Chondromyxoid fibroma is an unusual tumour occurring in the metaphysis of long bones. It is a locally painful benign cartilaginous lesion with a high recurrence rate, not known to undergo malignant transformation. Involvement of cranial bones and Sino nasal region by this tumour is extremely rare. We present a case of chondromyxoid fibroma in a young male, arising from the nasal septum which is a very unusual site for this tumour.
