| Summary: | Chondromyxoid fibroma (CMF) is a rare bone tumor, accounting for less than 0.5% of all bone tumors. This is a case report of a CMF in the inferior turbinate of a 2 years old girl with nearly 1.5 years history of congestion. Endoscope found a tumor completely obstructing nasal cavities from inferior turbinate. The patient underwent a partial turbinectomy and CMF was shown in Pathology. No recurrence or new lesion was observed during the 4 years of follow up. There is no need to remove too much of the nasal sinus bone to avoid facial deformities.
