===Chondromyxoid Fibroma===
The clinical symptoms are mostly related to the site where the tumor arises. In case of cranial involvement the symptoms change according to the bone that is affected. Patients can present with [[diplopia]], [[neuralgia]] and [[dysarthria]], facial pain, episodes of convulsions, [[exophthalmos]] and headache or with bony swelling.<ref>Yerleflen, Frontal Kemikte.

**While fibroids are common, they are not a typical cause for infertility, accounting for about 3% of reasons why a woman may not be able to have a child. The majority of women with uterine fibroids will have normal pregnancy outcomes. In cases of intercurrent uterine fibroids in infertility, a fibroid is typically located in a submucosal position and it is thought that this location may interfere with the function of the lining and the ability of the embryo to implant. Also larger fibroids may distort or block the fallopian tubes.
