Fig. 2. A preoperative T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging image revealed a high signal intensity in the lunate. Fig. 1. A 40-year-old woman presented with pain in the dorsal aspect of the right wrist. Im ag es droma shows a round, transparent osteolytic bony change [2]. It is generally asymptomatic, but may expand [3]. Although enlargement of enchondroma with cortical thinning and protrusio...

Ollier’s syndrome, a variant of multiple enchondromatosis, is a rare disease with an estimated prevalence of 1/100,000, characterized by multiple enchondromas, asymmetrically involving small bones of the hands and feet, especially the proximal phalanges. Intracranial enchondromas, such as those arising from the skull base are extremely rare. Herein, we report a 25-year-old female, known case of...

We report the case of a 72-yr-old prostate cancer patient with biochemical failure (PSA = 2.8 ng/mL) after radical prostatectomy in whom both bone scintigraphy and C-choline PET/CT detected an isolated focal pathological activity in the proximal diaphysis of the left tibia. Surgery was performed and histological analysis revealed enchondroma. The finding is discussed on the basis of the specifi...

We report the case of a patient with a long standing clinical history of subacromial impingement, in which plain radiographs and CT-scan revealed a well-circumscribed lucent lesion expanding the undersurface of the acromion. MRI showed the subacromial fat to be completely obliterated and the infraspinatus tendon deformed due to compression by a mass localised at the acromion. The acromial lesio...

 Background: An enchondroma is a benign and a well-differentiated chondrosarcoma is an invasive chondroid tumor with high recurrence potential. In spite of biologic differences, these two tumors have very similar histopathologic appearance. It has been shown that the biologic nature of the connective tissue around benign and malignant tumors varies in the number of mast cells. The aim of this s...

INTRODUCTION Enchondromas are benign bone cartilaginous lesions predominantly seen in the hand, possibly leading to a pathological fracture. When the lesion expands to the whole phalanx, curettage through a small fenestration is difficult. To overcome the problem, soft-wire (cerclage wire) was used as a curette. Soft-wire is commonly used for a tension band wiring method for patellar or olecran...

A benign enchondroma of the left fifth distal interphalangeal joint occurred in a 39 year old male. The differential diagnoses and outcomes are discussed.
