Overview

Findings on an x-ray suggestive of chondroma include well-defined or sclerotic border, sharp zone of transition, confinement by natural barriers, lack of destruction of the cortex and lack of extension into the soft tissue.

X Ray Findings

  • X-ray may be helpful in the diagnosis of chondroma. Findings on an x-ray suggestive of chondroma include:[1][2][3][4][5][6]

    • Well-defined or sclerotic border
    • Sharp zone of transition
    • Small size or multiple lesions
    • Confinement by natural barriers
    • Lack of destruction of the cortex
    • Lack of extension into the soft tissue
  • Following x-ray findings are suggestive of more aggresive lesion:
    • Poor definition
    • Cortical destruction ("moth-eaten" or permeative pattern)
    • Spiculated or interrupted periosteal reaction
    • Extension into the soft tissue
    • Large size

Enchondroma

  • Oval, well-circumscribed, central lucent lesion, with or without matrix calcifications
  • May be expansion of the surrounding cortex, especially when the lesion is in the hand or foot

Periosteal chondroma

  • Small, scalloped, radiolucent lesions on the outer surface of the cortex in the metaphysis or diaphysis
  • Rim of sclerotic bone
  • Calcification
