Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Surgical Pathology
Background:
- Chondromyxoid fibroma is a rare benign bone tumor.
- Frontal bone localization is uncommon.
Observation:
- A case presentation of a 15-year-old female with a chondromyxoid fibroma of the frontal bone.
Findings:
- The tumor, though benign, possesses potential for local recurrence.
- Risk of malignant transformation exists with inadequate resection.
Implications:
