Chondromyxoid fibroma is a benign tumor in adolescents and young adults. The most common location of the tumor is the proximal one-third of the tibia. Chondromyxoid fibroma accounts for less then 1% of all bony neoplasms and foot is affected in about 20% of all cases. The authors have described a case of chondromyxoid fibroma of the first metatarsal which had been recurred 7 months after curettage and iliac bone graft. En bloc resection and reconstruction of the metatarsal with autogenous iliac bone graft were performed. The results were satisfactory and the patient was free of local recurrence at two years follow-up.

Chondromyxoid fibroma occurring in the hand is a rare benign tumor. Radiologically and histologically, it should be differentiated from the other benign bone lesions in the hand, such as enchondroma, chondroblastoma, giant cell reparative granuloma and chondrosarcoma. This report is dealt with 59-year-old female and 19-year-old male patient presenting lesions on their digits anddescribed unusual clinical, radiological and pathological features.

Chondromyxoid fbroma (CMF) is a rare, benign tumor of the bone that represents fewer than $2\%$ of all benign tumors of bone. CMF is most often found in the long tubular bones, especially the tibia and femur near the knee joint. Less common sites included the pelvis, fibula, calcaneus and rib. A 54-year-old male patient presented to us with history of swelling and mild, intermittent local pain without any rise in overlying skin temperature in lateral portion of left 7th rib for one-month duration, which was diagnosed as benign rib tumor by plain chest X-ray and CT scan, and treated successfully by excision of rib with good result. Pathologic diagnosis of this tumor was CMF. Without any medical therapy, there was no evidence of recurrence after operation. We report this case and follow-up of the patient.

An osteolytic lesion with a small central area of mineralization and sclerotic borders was discovered incidentally in the clivus on the cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) of a 27-year-old male patient. This benign appearance indicated a primary differential diagnosis of non-aggressive lesions such as fibro-osseous lesions and arrested pneumatization. Further, on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the lesion showed a homogenously low T1 signal intensity with mild internal enhancement after post-gadolinium and a heterogeneous T2 signal intensity. These signal characteristics might be attributed to the fibrous tissues, chondroid matrix, calcific material, or cystic component of the lesion; thus, chondroblastoma and chondromyxoid fibroma were added to the differential diagnosis. Although this report was limited by the lack of final diagnosis and the patient lost to follow-up, the incidental skull base finding would be important for interpreting the entire volume of CBCT by a qualified oral and maxillofacial radiologist.
