Overview
Chondromas may be classified into two broad types based on their location: enchondromas (tumor grows within the bone and expands it) and ecchondroma (tumor grows outward from the bone).[1]
Classification
- Chondromas may be classified into two broad types based on their location:[1]
- Enchondroma (tumor grows within the bone and expands it)
- Ecchondroma (tumor grows outward from the bone) (for example, juxtacortical chondroma)
- The most common sites are within the medullary canal of the bone (enchondroma) and periosteum of the tubular bones (juxtacortical chondroma).
- Less common types of chondromas, based on their anatomical locations may include:
