Enchondroma Wikibooks

Description: Enchondromas are benign cartilaginous neoplasms that originate in the medullary canal of tubular bones, believed to result from growth of residual benign cartilage rests displaced from the physis. They are often incidental findings, occurring in just under 2% of the population based on autopsy series. Approximately half of all enchondromas occur in the tubular bones of the hands and feet, with others are found in the metaphyses of other long bones. They rarely occur in the pelvis, shoulder girdle, and axial skeleton. Diagnostic Radiology/Musculoskeletal Imaging/Tumors Basic/Enchondroma From Wikibooks, the open-content textbooks collection
