Overview
Chondromas may be classified into two broad types based on their location into enchondromas (tumor grows within the bone and expands it) and ecchondroma (tumor grows outward from the bone).[1]
Classification

- Endochondromas (tumor grows within the bone and expands it)
- Ecchondroma (tumor grows outward from the bone)
- 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:
