Chondromyxoid fibroma of the clavicle in a child.

We present a 6-year-old child with a chondromyxoid fibroma (CMF) of the clavicle. In view of the atypical site, clinical features and imaging was not useful to pin point a diagnosis. The diagnosis was confirmed on histopathology. CMF is a rare benign bone tumor and only three cases of CMF clavicle are reported in world literature. Our patient is the first child reported with CMF of the clavicle. A very good result was obtained following an en-block resection of the clavicle. The report highlights the importance of keeping a diagnosis of CMF even at atypical sites like clavicle. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
