Chondroma is the most common primary bone tumour of the hand, but carpal chondroma has, as far as we know, been reported only twice previously in the English language literature: in one report by Dahlin (1957), no localisation was mentioned: the other, by Takigawa (1971) described a patient with a chondroma in the scaphoid and lunate of the right wrist. We report two patients each with a chondr...

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 ...

PURPOSE To report a rare case of nasal chondroma presenting as hypertelorism. CASE REPORT We report a case of a 16-year-old boy with a large calcified mass arising from the posterior nasal cavity presenting as hypertelorism. Surgical excision was done, and the histopathological examination revealed a chondroma. The hypertelorism resolved postoperatively. CONCLUSIONS Nasal chondroma may also...

INTRODUCION Intracranial chondroma is a very rare, slow growing, benign cartilaginous tumor that arises usually from the base of the scull. Chondroma located at the falx is extremely rare. According to our best knowledge 15 cases of falx chondromas have been reported in the literature. CASE OUTLINE This is the first case report of falx chondroma located in the parietal area associated with hy...

Chondromas are benign tumors which mostly occur in extremities but also sometimes in the cranium. Intracerebral chondroma is rare condition. Most intracranial chondromas arise from skull base, but chondroma of falx origin is a rare entity and mostly occurs in relation with syndromic disorders such as Mafucci's syndrome or Ollier's syndrome. Here, we report a rare case of falcine intracranial ch...

Chondroma is a benign tumor which mostly occurs in extremities but also sometimes in brain. Most intracranial chondromas arise from skull base, but chondroma of falx origin is a rare circumstance. Indeed, the intracranial chondromas rise from falx is mostly in relation with syndromic disorders such as Mafucci's syndrome or Ollier's syndrome. Here, we reported a rare case of falxian intracranial...

Chondroma is a very unusual cartilagenous neoplasm of the spine. Here we are present a case of spinal chondroma with radiculopathy. A 54-year-old female patient consulted with progressive low back pain and left femoral numbness. Lumbar spinal Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging studies showed an extradural mass lesion in the left L2 body. Computerized tomography (CT) did not reveal any osteolytic l...

A case of soft tissue chondroma or extraskeletal chondroma is described. The tumour caused compression of the posterior interosseous nerve. Excision and biopsy were performed with complete resolution of the symptoms.

Periosteal chondroma is a rare benign cartilage tumor located on the cortical bone, which may be mistaken clinically and histologically for other and more common tumors in this location. The current study reports the case of periosteal chondroma located in the distal femur of a 14-year-old female. A non-tender swelling, 5×4 cm in diameter, was identified on computed tomography, a radiological s...
