Overview
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:[1][2][3][4][5]
- Malignant transformation
- Pathological fracture
Enchondroma
- Enchondromas of the long bones are usually asymptomatic and do not require treatment. Treatment consists of observation with serial radiographs.
- 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
- Curettage and grafting with optional internal fixation may be considered for multiple fractures, impending fracture, or painful lesions.
- Enchondroma should not progress or recur.
Periosteal Chondroma
- Juxtacortical chondrosarcomas can clinically and radiologically mimic these tumors.
- Wide local excision with bone grafting is a curative procedure for patients with periosteal chondroma with or without internal fixation is performed.
- Recurrence is unlikely.
Synovial 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.
