Osteochondromyxoma: Review of a rare carney complex criterion

Todd Golden et al. J Bone Oncol. .

Abstract

Osteochondromyxoma is an extremely rare bone tumor associated with 1% of Carney complex patients and constitutes one of its 11 diagnostic criteria. This narrative review of osteochondromyxoma is based on a search of all references to the topic in PubMed, Web Of Science, SCOPUS, ScienceDirect, and JSTOR databases. Special attention was focused on case reports, leading to a review encompassing the case reports to date, as well as related animal model studies. This review covers the current understanding of osteochondromyxoma, highlighting its variability while providing consensus on the most common clinical presentation, pathological findings, and genetic features of this rare bone tumor.

Keywords: Bone tumor; Carney complex; Osteochondromyxoma; Rare cancer.
