Para-articular extraskeletal chondroma mimicking first metatarsophalangeal synovitis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Extraskeletal chondroma is a rare benign tumor with symptoms that could mimic other common musculoskeletal pathological entities. We present a rare case of an extraskeletal para-articular chondroma of the first metatarsophalangeal joint which was initially misinterpreted as joint synovitis, based on magnetic resonance imaging findings. Histology revealed benign chondroma of the foot, which was finally treated with radical surgical excision. More than 2 years postoperatively, no recurrence of the tumor has been encountered.

Tumor formation in Hoffa's infrapatellar fat: Case report☆
Although tumors or pseudotumoral lesions are rare in the infrapatellar fat, they may affect it. Osteochondroma is the commonest benign bone tumor. However, extraskeletal presentations are rare. There are three extraskeletal variants of osteochondroma: synovial chondromatosis, para-articular chondroma and soft-tissue chondroma. We present a case of a single intra-articular lesion in the area of ...
متن کاملExtraskeletal chondroma of the foot-a case report.
Extraskeletal Chondroma (ESC) is uncommon which occurs predominantly in hands and feet. It has a variable histology, with two thirds of the ESCs showing mature hyaline cartilage which is arranged in distinct lobules with fibrosis, or ossification, or myxoid areas and few showing immature patterns, with chondroblasts mimicking extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcomas (ESMCSs). ESCs can recur but the...

Para-articular osteochondroma (PAOC) is a subtype of extra-skeletal chondroma. This is a rare slow growing benign soft tissue tumour which arises from the adjacent joint and without continuity with the bone. The knee joint is the most frequent site of involvement, particularly at the infra-patellar fossa. We report two cases of para-articular osteochondroma of the knee joint. Based on the imagi...

Patellar tendinopathy is characterized by activity-related anterior knee pain. It is most commonly related to sports activity, but has also been reported in the non-athletic population. Most injuries are caused by microtrauma, resulting in tendinitis or tendinosis. Extraskeletal paraarticular osteochondromas, which occur in the soft tissues near the joint, are rare. The infrapatellar fat pad an...

Osteochondromas found within the soft tissue without osseous or intra-articular involvement are better described as extraskeletal osteochondromas. They are slow-growing, benign, osseous tumors, and are often misdiagnosed as conventional osteochondromas. Though extraskeletal osteochondromas are rare, they typically affect the digits of the hands or feet. We present a patient with a giant symptom...
