Abstract: Chondromyxoid fibroma (CMF) is a rare benign bone tumor. This tumor mostly affects the long bones of the appendicular skeleton but rarely grows in the craniofacial region. In this article, a case of CMF of the mandible was presented to enhance our understanding of CMF. Its clinical manifestations, imaging characteristics, and treatment methods were discussed by analyzing the related literature.
