Soft tissue chondromas: diagnosis and differential diagnosis. uri icon

Overview

abstract

  • The authors evaluated three cases of soft tissue chondromas in patients aged 55, 57, and 78 years. Two of the lesions occurred in the foot and one in the hand. All three patients had long histories (over 1 year) of a palpable mass and all three had roentgenograms showing well-demarcated lobulated soft tissue lesions with both central and peripheral calcifications. Recognition of this rare benign chondroid lesion on imaging studies is significant since it may be misinterpreted as an aggressive lesion or a primary synovial abnormality.
