Abstract

We report two cases of fibromyxoma, one affecting the iliac crest and the second involving the proximal shaft of the tibia. Fibromyxoma is a rare neoplasm related to benign fibrous tumors and is characterized by exuberant, extracellular, ground substance production. Its histologic appearance is benign and distinctive and can be readily distinguished from that of myxoid chondrosarcoma or chondromyxoid fibroma. The radiographic picture is, however, difficult to interpret, and the entity can be easily mistaken for other tumors.
