Surgery is not the first-line treatment option for patients with asymptomatic and benign chondroma. Surgery is usually reserved for patients with either malignant transformation and pathological fracture.
Surgery
- Surgery is not the first-line treatment option for patients with asymptomatic and benign chondroma. Surgery is usually reserved for patients with either:
- Malignant transformation
- Pathological fracture
- Enchondromas of the long bones are usually asymptomatic and do not require treatment. Curettage and histopathologic evaluation is usually reserved for patients with either:
- Uncertain diagnosis
- Lytic lesions
- Symptomatic and borderline in size
- Suspicious lesions For patients with pathologic fractures
- Wide local excision is a curative procedure for patients with periosteal chondroma.
- In synovial chondroma, depending on the symptoms, removal of loose bodies is required.
- In symptomatic patients with synovial chondroma, synovectomy is helpful to control the disease.
