Solitary Enchondroma: Investigation of 17 Cases with Localized Long Tubular Bone Cartilage Lesions

Abstract

Diagnostic distinction between enchondromas located in long tubular bones and low-grade chondrosarcomas is difficult. The data of 17 patients with long tubular bone cartilage lesions whose preoperative diagnoses were enchondromas were retrospectively analyzed. The files of the patients who were admitted to the Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology of Uludag University School of Medicine between 2005 and 2012 were assessed and 14 patients who underwent intra-lesional curettage and allograft implantation for enchondromas, two patients with preoperative diagnosis of enchondroma which were realized to be stage I chondrosarcomas after intralesional curettage, and one patient with enchondroma which transformed into stage II chondrosarcoma during follow up were examined. Enchondromas were incidentally found in four asymptomatic patients. The tumor was in the distal femur in eight cases, proximal humerus in six cases, and proximal tibia in three cases. Fourteen cases with enchondromas who were treated with intralesional curettage and allograft implantation were free from recurrence and malignant transformation during the follow up. In conclusion, correct diagnosis and treatment of enchondromas require evaluation of the clinical, radiological and pathological data in conjunction.
