Chondroblastoma-Like Extraskeletal Chondroma of the Hand: A Rare Case Report
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
Abstract: Extraskeletal chondroma (ESC) is a rare benign cartilaginous tumor that occurs predominantly in soft tissues near small joints of hand and feet. The importance of this lesion is that it must be distinguished from more aggressive soft tissue chondrosarcoma so as to spare the patient from unnecessary radical therapy. Here, we present a case of ESC of hand in a 32 yr old female with a variable histological appearance exhibiting chondroblastoma- like areas leading to a mistaken diagnosis of Extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcomas (ESMCS). Hence, the case had to be carefully evaluated to exclude ESMCS and to make the diagnosis of ESC. The treatment was limited to simple excision of the tumor and extensive surgery and radiotherapy was avoided. Keywords: Extraskeletal chondroma, chondroblastoma- like areas, Extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcomas.
