Soft Tissue Chondromas - Study of Five Cases

Abstract

Extraskeletal soft tissue chondroma is a rare benign neoplasm predominantly composed of mature hyaline cartilage. It develops in the soft tissues without any connection to bone cortex, intra-articular synovium, or periosteum. It could have atypical features both radiological and histopathological simulating malignant tumors. We herein report 5 cases of soft tissue chondromas with their histopathological and radiological features and review the literature.
