Overview
The cause of chondromas has not been identified. However, enchondroma is believed to occur either as an overgrowth of the cartilage that lines the ends of the bones, or as a persistent growth of original, embryonic cartilage.
Causes
The cause of chondromas has not been identified. Fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR3) deletion may be induced multiple chondroma-like lesions, including enchondromas and osteochondromas.[1]
