Symptoms of chondroma on the back of the hand

Chondroma often occurs in adolescents, with slow onset, no obvious symptoms in the early stage, local gradual expansion, especially in the finger (toe), deformity and accompanied by acid swelling. The predilection site is the long tubular bone of hand and foot, or the flat bone, such as scapula or iliac bone.

X-ray examination showed that the solitary endochondroma was oval transparent dark area with regular edge, bone expansion and thinning, and scattered gravel like calcification spots in the tumor; Multiple endochondromas can cause skeletal deformities.

Gross pathological examination showed that hard and shiny light blue tissue and lobulated hyaline cartilage could be seen under the microscope. The chondrocytes were uniform and piled up, and the nuclei were uniform in size and not deep stained. Chondroma can develop into chondrosarcoma in a few cases, mostly in the larger bone.

matters needing attention

The treatment principle of chondroma is as follows: the chondroma of short bone of finger, palm and foot should be completely scraped off and then grafted; The chondroma of long tubular bone is easy to recur after curettage and bone grafting; Amputation or joint amputation should be performed when chondrosarcoma becomes malignant.
