Abstract
A case of Juxtacortical Chondroma was reported.
A nineteen-year-old man had a mass on the left leg for 4 months prior to admission. On the medial side of the proxmal half of the left tibia, an elastic-hard extraosseous cartilaginous mass (6×4×1.5cm.) was detected.
Roentgenogram showed a calcified soft-tissue and a shallow depression in the cortex of the tibia.
A block rescetion of the tumor was performed.
Histpathologically the specimens were composed of lobulated, focally calcified lying within a fibrous capsule. Nuclear variation and atypism were not prominent. One month after the first surgery the mass recurred and eight months later a block resection of the tumor was perfermed again.
