Giant Chondromyxoid Fibroma Associated With Epileptic Seizures: A Case Report

This case report presents an exceedingly rare instance of skull base chondromyxoid fibroma (CMF) managed surgically. Chondromyxoid fibromas are very rare tumors (<1% of benign bone tumors), the occurrence in the skull area being even more rare. The location of tumors at the skull base makes their surgical resection extremely challenging, usually resulting in subtotal resection (STR). One aspect that makes this case stand out is its unique clinical presentation, particularly the presence of epileptic seizures. Patients suffering from skull base CMFs must receive regular follow-up exams in order to track disease progress, maintain quality of life, and prevent further complications.

Abstract

This case report presents an exceedingly rare instance of skull base chondromyxoid fibroma (CMF) managed surgically. Chondromyxoid fibromas are very rare tumors (<1% of benign bone tumors), the occurrence in the skull area being even more rare. The location of tumors at the skull base makes their surgical resection extremely challenging, usually resulting in subtotal resection (STR). One aspect that makes this case stand out is its unique clinical presentation, particularly the presence of epileptic seizures. Patients suffering from skull base CMFs must receive regular follow-up exams in order to track disease progress, maintain quality of life, and prevent further complications.
