Zusammenfassung:Chondromyxoid fibroma is a benign bone tumour accounting for less than 1% of all primary bone tumours. It usually affects the metaphyseal region of long bones in the first or second decade of life. It rarely occurs in scapula. We present a case of 29 year old female with biopsy proven Chondromyxoid fibroma of left scapula. She underwent wide marginal excision by partial scapulectomy with preservation of glenoid. Post operatively she has stable shoulder joint with normal range of movement & no recurrence on regular follow up.
