Benign chondroblastoma involving the patella is a rare condition, being reported only 10 cases in Japanese literature. Benign chondroblastoma associated with cystic change is called as cystic chondroblastoma (Schajowicz) and one of the extremely rare conditions, which is sometimes difficult to be distinguished from aneurysmal bone cyst.
