title: Juxtacortical chondromyxoid fibroma: imaging findings in three cases and a review of the literature.
abstract: Chondromyxoid fibroma is a rare bone neoplasm characterized by chondral, myxoid and fibrous differentiation. Uncommon locations include the bone surface. Roentgenography, MRI and ultrasound can suggest the diagnosis. However, diagnosis of chondromyxoid fibroma is rarely made prior to biopsy. We present the radiologic and pathologic findings in three patients with this tumor and a review of the literature.
