Overview

CT Scan

  • Bone CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of enchondroma. Findings on CT scan suggestive of enchondroma include:[1][2]
    • Sharply defined scalloped margins
    • Expansion of the overlying cortex may be present, but there should not be cortical breakthrough unless fractured
    • No periosteal reaction
    • No soft tissue mass
