Overview
Enchondroma must be differentiated from low-grade chondrosarcoma, fibrocartilaginous dysplasia, bone islands, bone infarcts. Periosteal chondroma must be differentiated from juxtacortical chondrosarcoma, periosteal osteosarcoma
Differential Diagnosis
Enchondroma must be differentiated from the following:
- Low-grade chondrosarcoma
- When differentiating an enchondroma from a chondrosarcoma, the radiographic image may be equivocal; however, periostitis is not usually seen with an uncomplicated enchondroma.[1]
- Chondromyxoid fibroma
- Chondroblastoma
- Fibrocartilaginous dysplasia
- Bone islands
- Bone infarcts
- Differentiating an enchondroma from a bone infarct on plain film may be difficult. An enchondroma usually causes endosteal scalloping while an infarct will not. An infarct usually has a well-defined, sclerotic serpentine border, while an enchondroma does not.[2]
Periosteal chondroma must be differentiated from the following:
- Juxtacortical chondrosarcoma
- Periosteal osteosarcoma
