ABSTRACT
The chondromyxoid fibroma is a benign osseocartilaginous tumor histopathologically characterized by chondroid, fibrous, and myxoid tissues (Nazeer et al. in Skeltal Radiol 25779-78, 1996). Its occurrence is quite rare, accounting for less than 0.5% of all bone tumors, with 1-5% of cases reported in the head and neck region. We report an unusual case of 25 years old male who presented with progressive swelling over dorsum of nose with bilateral nasal obstruction over 1 year. The histopathological examination was suggestive of chondromyxoid fibroma. The tumor was completely excised via open approach. We report this case owing to the rarity of the disease, sometimes masquerading as invasive/malignant pathology.
