Overview
The majority of patients with enchondroma are asymptomatic. Less common symptoms of enchondroma may include pain, enlargement of the affected digits, slowing of affected bone growth, resulting in asymmetrical bone deformities.[1] Symptoms of juxtacortical chondromas include dull aching pain and a visible swelling.[2]
History and Symptoms
- The majority of patients with solitary enchondroma are asymptomatic. The most common symptoms of an enchondroma, when present, may include:[1]
- Pain at the site of the tumor if the tumor is very large, or if the affected bone has weakened, causing a fracture of the affected bone.
- Pain may also be the presenting symptom in patients with malignant transformation of the enchondromas.
- Night pain or pain at rest usually that signals a malignant change to chondrosarcoma.
- Enlargement of the affected finger.
- Slow bone growth in the affected area, resulting in asymmetric growth abnormalities.
- Periosteal chondromas are relatively superficial and therefore present with:[2]
- Pain
- Palpable swelling
