We present a case of soft tissue chondroma arising from the soft tissues of the index finger of the right dominant hand. Although asymptomatic, the swelling gave rise to concern both for the patient and the hand surgeon. There was a relatively large osteoblastic lesion in relation to the volar aspect of the distal interphalangeal joint. The lesion was excised, the histological findings were tho...

Chondroma is a benign tumour of mesenchymal origin that is composed of cartilage and rarely located in soft tissues, being described so far only in four cases, as located in the bladder, according to our knowledge. We describe the fifth case of a 67-year-old woman who consulted for microscopic haematuria, with an endoscopic finding of submucosal nodular image in the anterior wall of the bladder...

Soft tissue chondromas are rare. A fairly benign condition, it is an uncommon occurrence in the hand. It usually presents as an enlarging mass and local surgery is the treatment of choice. We report a case of a patient in our local population presenting with a soft tissue chondroma in a digit.

Carney triad is a rare non-hereditary condition affecting young females and characterized by metachronous or synchronous occurrence of epithelioid gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GISTs), pulmonary chondroma and extra-adrenal paraganglioma. The genetic alterations in Carney triad-related GISTs have not been well studied. We evaluated GISTs from three females with incomplete Carney triad for KI...

A 55-year-old female presented to the emergency room with a complaint of aphasia. Her initial brain computed tomography scan showed an intracranial hemorrhage in the left frontal area. After surgery, histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of a chondroma. Intradural chondroma is a rare, slow growing, benign intracranial neoplasm, but is even rarer in combination with an intratumor...

The clinical and pathological features of two rare, primary non-skeletal intracranial cartilaginous tumours, a chondroma and a mesenchymal chondrosarcoma, are presented. The literature with respect to clinical, pathological, and possible pathogenetic features is reviewed. The chondroma was successfully resected and the patient has had no recurrence since the operation in 1956. The clinical cour...

Extraskeletal chondroma is a benign cartilaginous tumor that occurs predominantly in the soft tissues near small joints of the hands and feet. There are rare reports of the lesion in other sites, such as the head, neck, trunk, oral cavity, larynx, and pharynx. We present a case of an axillary mass in a 15-year-old girl who underwent MRI examination and resection, with the ultimate diagnosis of ...

Periosteal chondroma is a slow growing benign cartilaginous tumor of bone. It is rarely reported among Thai people. The authors present a case ofperiosteal chondroma of the proximal humerus. A 14-year-old girl was admitted with a painless mass around her left shoulder On magnetic resonance images, a subcutaneous lesion with hypointensity on TI-weighted images and marked hyperintensity on T2-wei...
