Abstract

Open biopsy & histopathological examination proved the diagnosis of chondromyxoid fibroma. He was treated in form of curettage & bone grafting taken from left iliac crest along with artificial G-bone. Chondromyxoid fibroma is a rare benign tumor of the bone accounting to <1% of bone tumors. It’s occurance in calcaneum is rare. Here we report a rare case of the same.
