Overview

Chondroma is usually diagnosed incidentally. Common complications of chondroma include malignant transformation into a low grade growth disturbance, pathologic fracture, especially in short tubular and recurrence. Benign chondromas have a good prognosis with aprropriate treatment.

Natural History

  • Chondroma is usually diagnosed incidentally.[1]
  • Chondroma grows slowly, with a mean time of 41 months between initial diagnosis and change in lesion.
