Case Discussion
Radiographic features are suggestive of an enchondroma. Follow-up to exclude the possibility of a low-grade chondrosarcoma has been recommended.
Enchondromas are a relatively common benign medullary cartilaginous neoplasm with benign imaging features. Enchondromas are most frequently diagnosed in childhood to early adulthood with a peak incidence at 10-30 years old. Mostly, they are an incidental finding. They are usually asymptomatic but may be complicated by a pathological fracture or malignant transformation into chondrosarcoma, which is rare.
