Overview
Chondromas may be classified into two broad types based on their location: enchondromas (tumor grows within the bone and expands it) and ecchondroma (tumor grows outward from the bone).[1]
Classification
- Chondroma may be classified according to the matrix, or substance, that they produce into 4 subtypes:[2][3][4]
- Enchondroma
- Periosteal chondroma
- There is a less common classification for chondroma based on their anatomic locations:
- Chondroma of tip of the nose
- Extraskeletal chondroma of the scalp
- Intracranial chonrdoma
- Sacrococcygeal chonrdoma
- Skull base chonrdoma
- Spinal chonrdoma
