Enchondroma

Enchondroma

Enchondroma is a benign tumor which orginates from cartilage.Typically found in the small bones of the hands and feet, enchondromas are slow-growing and may not cause noticeable symptoms. These tumors are often discovered incidentally during imaging studies for unrelated issues. Enchondromas are composed of mature cartilage cells and may present as well-defined radiolucent areas on X-rays. While most enchondromas are asymptomatic and non-aggressive, complications such as pathological fractures or malignant transformation into chondrosarcoma can occur in rare cases. Treatment approaches for enchondroma depend on the size, location, and symptoms. Asymptomatic lesions may be monitored, while symptomatic or atypical cases may require surgical intervention, such as curettage or resection. Enchondromas are generally considered benign, but careful monitoring and, if necessary, appropriate management are essential to prevent potential complications and ensure optimal patient outcomes. Regular follow-ups and imaging studies are typically recommended to track any changes in the tumor's behavior.
