Chondroma

Chondroma is a benign tumor originating from cartilage cells. It can develop at the growing end of any bone, but most often occurs in the bones of the feet and hands.

Chondroma is a slow-growing neoplasm consisting of mature cartilage cells. The tumor is usually diagnosed incidentally on X-rays for other reasons. Chondroma can be single or multiple.

Symptoms of chondroma include pain and swelling in the area where the tumor is growing. Sometimes the swelling can lead to pathological fractures due to weakening of the bone in the area.

Diagnosis of chondroma is based on X-ray, CT or MRI data. A biopsy may be required to confirm the diagnosis.

Treatment includes surgical removal of the tumor and follow-up to detect possible recurrences. The prognosis for chondroma is usually favorable. In rare cases, malignant transformation into chondrosarcoma is possible.

Chondroma is different from conditions such as dyschondroplasia, enchondroma, and exostosis. If chondroma is suspected, it is important to conduct a thorough examination and make an accurate diagnosis.



A chondroma is a benign tumor that originates from cartilage tissue and can develop at the growing end of a bone. It can occur anywhere in the body, but is most often found in the bones of the legs and arms. Chondromas can come in different sizes and shapes, and can cause pain and discomfort when moving.

Chondromas are usually not life-threatening and do not require treatment unless they cause pain or other problems. However, if the tumor grows or causes pain, surgical removal may be required. Surgery can be performed either openly or endoscopically.

In some cases, chondromas may be associated with other diseases such as dyschondroplasia or enchondroma. Dyschondroplasia can be treated with hormonal therapy, and enchondroma can be removed surgically.

It is important to note that chondroma can occur in children and adolescents, so parents should monitor their children's bone development and contact a doctor if any unusual changes occur.



Chondra is a benign tumor of cartilage tissue.

Chondroma is a benign neoplastic bone disease that is characterized by the presence of a well-defined spherical tumor consisting primarily of cartilage. It tends to appear at the ends of growing bones, with the most common locations being the hands and feet. Chondramas occur on the dorsum of the hand or foot, often occurring at the ends of the first, second, and third metacarpal bones. Among the most common sites of injury is the base of the nail phalanx of the big toe on the growth plate. Although the origin of this tumor is unknown, it is believed that it may be either intravascular or extravascular in nature. Depending on which tissue predominates, chondroma is divided into exochondroma, endochondroma and mixed chondroma. The development of exochondroma is associated with the primary development of cartilage in bone tissue, while endochondroma is a tissue formation of cartilage that develops inside the bone. The final diagnosis of Chondroma is determined by X-ray findings. If the bone on which the tumor has formed (its
