Overview

If left untreated, patients with chondroma may progress to develop pain and discomfort. Common complications of chondroma include malignant transformation into a low grade chondrosarcoma, pathologic fractures and skeletal deformities.[1] Common complications of chondroma include Malignant transformation into a low grade chondrosarcoma, pathologic fractures and skeletal deformities.[1][2][3] Prognosis is generally good for benign chondromas.[1]

Natural History

If left untreated, patients with chondroma may progress to develop pain and discomfort. If an enchondroma is painful in the absence of a fracture, it should be considered malignant, unless proven otherwise.[1]

Complications

Common complications of chondroma include:[1][4][5]

Prognosis

Prognosis is generally good for benign chondromas.[1]
