This is a case report of a 24-year-old man who presented with increased pain and firm swelling of the right foot after a minor twisting injury. Radiography, computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings showed ancillary information that was helpful for surgical treatment. The final diagnosis was confirmed as chondroblastoma of the navicular bone based on the pathology r...

Chondroblastoma is a benign cartilaginous neoplasm usually arising in the epiphyses of long bones in young subjects. The histogenesis of chondroblastomas is controversial, although cartilage germ cells or epiphyseal cartilage cells are presumed to be the cell of origin. The most common anatomical site involved by chondroblastoma is the proximal humerus followed by the distal femur, proximal fem...

Epiphysial chondroblastoma is the name proposed by one of us (1947) for the relatively rare tumour designated by Jaffe and Lichtenstein in 1942 as “benign chondroblastoma of bone” and formerly identified as a “giant-cell tumour” variant (Kolodny 1927, Ewing 1928, Codman 1931). Johnson (1963) actually still classifies this lesion as “enchondromatous giant-cell tumour”. Notwithstanding that its p...

Abstract Introduction Chondroblastoma is a rare, benign locally but aggressive bone tumor. It accounts for < 1% of primary bony tumors, and mostly arises from long bones; the rib chondroblastoma especial rare. Due to its rarity, there are no definitive or standard treatment guidelines. Case presentation A case 24-year-old male with located on 6th posterior left rib. Computed tomography (CT) ...
