Chondromyxoid fibroma of the occipital bone.
Chondromyxoid fibroma is an uncommon bone tumour, found predominantly in the metaphyses of the long bones of the lower limbs. The authors describe a patient in whom the tumour arose from the occipital bone. To the authors' knowledge, this is only the second report of chondromyxoid fibroma occurring in this location.
