Skeletal Radiol. 2003 Mar;32(3):156-60. doi: 10.1007/s00256-002-0566-0. Epub 2002 Sep 26.

Abstract

The clinicoradiologic and pathologic aspects of an intracortical, diaphyseal chondromyxoid fibroma of the humerus are reported. Because of the location of the lesion, the possibility of chondromyxoid fibroma was not considered radiologically. The diagnosis was made only after histologic examination of tissue obtained via an open biopsy, which led to the appropriate treatment, surgical curettage.
