Overview
Enchondroma arises from rests of growth plate cartilage or chondrocytes that are normally involved in the production and maintainence of the cartilaginous matrix, which consists mainly of collagen and proteoglycans.[1][2] Juxta-cortical chondromas (also known as periosteal chondromas) arise from the periosteum of tubular bones.[3] On microscopic histopathological analysis, avascular lobules of hyaline cartilagenous matrix interspersed with chondrocytes, separated by normal marrow are characteristic findings of chondromas.[4][5] On gross pathology, small (usually less than 3 cm), translucent, grey blue, nodular lesions with occasional calcifications are characteristic findings of chondromas.[1] Genes involved in the pathogenesis of enchondroma and periosteal chondromas may include isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) and IDH2.[6]
Pathogenesis
- Enchondromas arise from rests of growth plate cartilage or chondrocytes that are normally involved in the production and maintainence of the cartilaginous matrix, which consists mainly of collagen and proteoglycans.[1][2]
- Juxta-cortical chondromas (also known as periosteal chondromas) arise from the periosteum of tubular bones.[3]
Genetics
Genes involved in the pathogenesis of enchondroma and periosteal chondromas may include isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) and IDH2.[6]
Gross Pathology
- On gross pathology, small (usually less than 3 cm), translucent, grey blue, nodular lesions with occasional calcifications are characteristic findings of chondromas.[1][7]
Microscopic Pathology
- On microscopic histopathological analysis, avascular, fibrous lobules of hyaline cartilagenous matrix, interspersed with chondrocytes and separated by normal marrow are characteristic findings of chondromas. In malignant chondrosarcomas, the fibrous capsule is irregular, with extensions into the surrounding tissues and may be used in differentiation from the benign chondroma.[4][5]
-
Intermediate magnification; The sections show spaced small cells in a pale matrix with a light-blue tinge. No nuclear atypia is appreciated. No mitotic activity is apparent. Degenerative changes are seen focally.[8]
-
Very high magnification; The sections show spaced small cells in a pale matrix with a light-blue tinge. No nuclear atypia is appreciated. No mitotic activity is apparent. Degenerative changes are seen focally.[8]
-
Histological findings of periosteal chondroma. The tumor is composed of bland chondrocytes in an abundant hyaline cartilage matrix.[9]
Associated conditions
Enchondromas may be single or multiple. Multiple enchondromas are associated with the following:
Associated disease | Findings | Occurance |
---|---|---|
Maffucci syndrome |
|
Sporadic |
Ollier disease |
|
Sporadic |
Metachondromatosis |
|
Genetic (Autosomal dominant) |
