2021年11月16日 · An enchondroma is a benign (not cancerous) tumor that develops in the cartilage in the center of your bones. Usually, an enchondroma doesn’t cause any pain. You may not know you have it unless you get an X-ray for an unrelated injury.

2024年12月1日 · Enchondromas, also known as chondromas 7, are relatively common intramedullary hyaline cartilage neoplasms with benign imaging features. They share histologic features with low-grade chondrosarcoma and are sometimes classified under the umbrella term low-grade chondral series tumors.

On X-rays, enchondromas appear as small (less than 5 cm), lobe-shaped, darkened tumors in the middle of the bone. They usually contain white spots or calcification within. The white areas of the tumor show a pattern of rings and arcs that indicates the tumor contains cartilage.

An enchondroma is a type of noncancerous bone tumor that begins in cartilage. An enchondroma most often affects the cartilage that lines the inside of the bones. It often affects the tiny long bones of the hands and feet.

2024年3月5日 · Enchondromas are benign bone tumors that develop within the cartilage. They are non-cancerous growths that typically occur in the small bones of the hands and feet. Enchondromas are characterized by the abnormal growth of cartilage cells within the bone, leading to the formation of a mass or lump.

Enchondromas are benign hyaline cartilage tumors of unknown etiology occurring in bones of endochondral origin. These lesions account for approximately 3% of bone neoplasms and up to 13% of benign bone growths. Enchondromas are usually solitary, central, metaphyseal tubular bone lesions, favoring the small hand and foot bones, femur, and humerus.

2021年1月25日 · The most commonly affected areas in the foot are the phalanges and metatarsals, but it is possible for an enchondroma to be present in the calcaneus. Pathologic fracture is the primary concern with this lesion.
