CHONdrOMYXOID FIBROMA OF CALCANEUM: A RARE SITE OF PRESENTATION AND ROLE OF CURETTAGE AND BONE CEMENTING

Dr Shashank Sonth, Dr Dileep K S

Abstract :

Chondromyxoid fioma is a rare benign primary bone tumor composed of immature myxoid mesenchymal and cartilaginous tissue. Its occurrence in calcaneus is very rare and few cases of calcaneal involvement have been reported in literature. Here we present a case of 28 year old female with swelling at the right calcaneum underwent biopsy and diagnosed as chondromyxoid fioma, patient underwent limb salvage surgery with curettage and bone cementing, patient was asymptomatic for a period of 8 months and came with recurrence in swelling at calcaneum, biopsy was repeated and reported as chondromyxoid fioma, patient was counseled and taken up for below knee amputation. Curettage and bone grafting surgery has a poor outcome in the treatment of chondromyxoid fioma of calcaneum. Obtaining a tumor free margin by curettage and bone grafting is not an ideal treatment for chondromyxoid fioma of calcaneum as the rate of recurrence is high.
