Introduction: Chondromyxoid fibroma is a rare benign cartilaginous tumor that accounts for less than 1% of all bone tumors and involves long bones of the lower extremities more frequently. Therefore, the clavicle is a rare location of involvement for this entity. Case Presentation: The authors report a case of a diaphyseal chondromyxoid fibroma of the right clavicle in a 30-year-old male that was submitted to en bloc resection of the lesion and reconstruction with an autologous tricortical graft from the iliac crest. The post-operative period was uneventful, and the patient had regained excellent function of this right shoulder. At 2 years of follow-up, there was no evidence of a recurrence of the disease. Conclusion: Chondromyxoid fibroma of the clavicle should be included in the differential diagnosis of an indolent growing mass in this anatomic location.
