Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 1
Abstract
The cartilage lesion in bones can be on the surface or inside the bone. Cartilage lesions in medullary cavity of bone is called Enchondroma. Enchondromas consists of 3-10 % of all bone tumours and 12-24% of benign tumours . They are most commonly found in young age group and in bones of hands and feet. Malignant counterpart is called as chondrosarcoms. Presence of enchondromas in older age group and in atypical site leads to some degree of controversy as to the diagnosis and treatment of these lesions. We here present a case of 65 years male patient who presented with history of pain in left knee. Radiological examination and mri was done along with truecut biopsy. The patient was managed with curettage and bone graft of autologic and allogenic source. Histopathology confirmed the lesion to be Enchondroma. At the latest follow up the patient was symptom free and there was no evidence of any recurrence.
