{Abstract}: Chondromyxoid fibroma is a rare, benign tumor of the bone with excellent prognosis but a high rate of recurrence. We report a patient presenting with pain and a history of chondromyxoid fibroma of the distal left femur previously treated with multiple prior curettage and bone graft procedures. Magnetic resonance imaging and histopathology indicated a recurrence of tumor. Due to the small size of the tumor recurrence and challenges associated with prior open surgery, the patient underwent cryoablation of the lesion with computed tomography guidance. Follow-up 18 months later indicated a resolution of pain and improvement on magnetic resonance imaging, and no concerns after 20 months. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of chondromyxoid fibroma treated with cryoablation. This case suggests cryoablation could be considered in the setting of recurrent chondromyxoid fibroma for local tumor control.
