    Journal: Diagn Cytopathol; 2013 Oct; 41(10):904-8. PubMed ID: 22508682.
    Abstract:
    We report the cytological features of two cases of chondromyxoid fibroma (CMF) confirmed by histopathology examination. First case was a 40-year-old male who presented with a foot swelling, and the second case was a 16-year-old male with a lesion at the angle of jaw. A fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) was performed in both the cases. In first case, a correct diagnosis of CMF could be offered on FNAC. In the second case, though the cytology diagnosis was a sarcoma considering the cytological, radiological and clinical features, the histopathological examination confirmed the same to be a CMF. The cases are being discussed to highlight the usefulness of FNAC to diagnose these uncommon benign bone lesions and the potential pitfalls in the cytological diagnosis of chondroid lesions.
