Chondromyxofibroma

Chondromyxofibroma is a very rare form of benign bone cancer. Chondromyxofibroma is called chondromyxofibroma in English. The cancer is normally detected in persons under 30 years of age.

- Characteristic appearance and requires surgical removal

This form of benign bone cancer is often diagnosed because it can cause pain. The cancer develops at the end of the bone structure, normally towards one of the sides. Due to their characteristic appearance, it is often diagnosed with X-ray examination. Treatment consists of surgical removal and this normally results in total improvement, but in rare cases this form of cancer can recur after surgery.

- Regular inspection

In the event of deterioration or the like, persons should go for a check-up to check whether there has been any development or further growth. This is normally done with systematic X-ray examinations (see imaging) to estimate any size development or bloom. Every six months or annually, an X-ray may be necessary, but it may be taken less frequently if no development is seen.
