Abstract :

Soft tissue chondromas are rare tumors. They are benign & slowly progressive in nature. It presents as a slowly growing mass, most commonly in the hands and feet. It should be differentiated from benign tumors like ganglion cyst, myositis ossificans, pseudomalignant osseous tumor etc. We report a case of hand chondroma at wrist dorsal aspect. 53 yrs male patient, farmer by occupation, presented with a painless hard mass over right wrist dorsal aspect which had grown slowly for 2 years. FNAC was inconclusive-ray shows no evidence of synovial connection. Excisional biopsy done revealed well encapsulated white hard tumor, microscopic examination confirmed presence of hyaline cartilage indicating extraskeletal soft tissue chondroma. 6 month follow up showed no evidence of recurrence.
