Population:
- Young adults.
- Typically age (years) 20s and 30s.[1]
Location
Hands and feet
Radiology
- Marginated wide based bony growth projecting into the soft tissues.[2]
Gross
- Nodule covered with glistening cartilage.
Microscopic
Disorganized cellular cartilage with a blue tint and patchy ossification matures into disorganized bone. A proliferation of fibroblasts surrounds the lesion and occupies intertrabecular spaces.
DDx:
- Periosteal chondrosarcoma.
- Periosteal chondroma.
- Low grade parosteal osteosarcoma.
- Osteochondroma.
