General
- Benign.
- Very common.[1]
- Abnormal outgrowth of bone and cartilage - associated with growth plate.
- Usually present before age 20.[3]
- May be multiple and hereditary.[2]
Gross
Features:
- Metasphyseal lesions.[4]
- Mushroom-like shape - with broad or narrow base.
Note:
- Very unusual in craniofacial bones.[3]
Microscopic
Features:[3]
- Bone - forms base of "mushroom".
- Cartilage - layer usu. thinner in older individuals.
- Lobular arrangement[6] - clusters of 3-12 lacunae (separated by stroma).
- May have mild atypia.
- Nuclear enlargement - up to 5x normal.
- Perichondrium - covers the cartilage.
- Thin layer of cells - higher cellular density than cartilage.
- Bland spindle cells in a fibrous (eosinophilic) stroma.
- Thin layer of cells - higher cellular density than cartilage.
Notes:
- Benign cartilage - one chondrocyte per lacuna, small and round nucleus, no binucleation.
- Heterotopic ossification - no cartilage, away from joint.
DDx:
- Chondrosarcoma - esp. in older individuals.
