Chondromyxoid fibroma is rare cartilaginous tumor, accounting for 0.5% of all primary bone tumors and 2% of benign bone tumors. Areas of aneurysmal bone cysts (ABC) may be found within CMF in 8.6% of cases. A 20-year-old man presents pain due to a mass on iliopubic ramus that was diagnosed as an aneurysmal bone cyst arising from a chondromyxoid fibroma. This case confirms the rare association between aneurysmal bone cyst and chondromyxoid fibroma. Although aneurysmal bone cyst is more frequently associated with highly vascularized tumors, it is important to consider the diagnosis in the presence of chondromyxoid fibroma.
