Abstract

Chondromyxoid fibroma is a relatively rare benign but potentially aggressive tumor of cartilagenous origin. It usually occurs in the metaphysis of the long bones and the most common site of involvement is near the growth plate of the proximal tibia. We experienced a case of chondromyxoid fibroma, which occurred in the juxtaphyseal portion of the femoral neck. It was treated by curettage and allogenic bone graft initially. Twenty-seven months after this first operation, the capital femoral epiphysis slipped, which was treated by screw fixation. Here, report a case of SCFE after curettage and bone graft for juxtaphyseal chondromyxoid fibroma at the femoral neck and include a brief review of literature.
