We report a newborn infant with a chondroma of the spine covered by a large lipoma. The child had no neurological deficit. Presenting as a tumor of the back, the chondroma was successfully excised. A review of the pertinent literature emphasizes the rarity of this lesion.
Analysis of 374 cases of enchondroma, 42% of which were localized in the short bones of the hand. The findings in radiology and pathology are presented and discussed, with special attention to the difficulty of classifying these tumors histologically and distinguishing them from chondrosarcoma. The recurrence rate in the short bones of the hand was 9%, and 19% in the long tubular bones. It was especially high after mere currettage of the tumor.
Extraosseous cartilage tumors of the hand are rare. Histologically they can be distinguished from chondrosarcomas. We report a patient with bilateral extraosseous chondromas of the hand with rapid appearance and growth of this unusual tumor during chronic renal failure. The clinical and histological characteristics of these benign tumors are reviewed, and the possible role of the patient's depressed cellular immunity in the appearance of these chondromas is discussed.
