Overview
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
- The incidence of otesochondromas is approximately 30,000 per 100,000 of all cartilage tumors and 2,000 per 100,000 of all bone tumors.
Prevalence
- The prevalence of benign cartilage tumors is approximately 27000 per 100,000 individuals of all bone tumors and 70,000 per 100,000 of all cartilage tumors.
- The prevalence of enchondromas is approximately 12,000-24,000 per 100,000 individuals of benign bone tumors and 3000-10,000 of all bone tumors.
- The prevalence of periostal chondromas is approximately 1000 per 100,000 individuals of all chondromas and 100 per 100,000 of all bone tumors.
Age
- Patients of all age groups may develop enchondromas.
- The incidence of enchondroma peaks in the third and fourth decades of life.
- Periosteal chondromas are frequently diagnosed in the second or third decades of life.
- Patients of all age groups may develop synovial chondromas, and fifth decade is a peak incidence.
Race
- There is no racial predilection to chondroma.
Gender
- Enchondroma affects men and women equally.
- Males are more commonly affected by periosteal chondromas than females.
- Male are more commonly affected by osteochondromas than female. The male to female ratio is approximately 1.8 to 1.
- Male are more commonly affected by synovial chondroma than female.The male to female ratio is approximately 2 to 1.
