Abstract
|
|
|
|
Extraskeletal chondroma is a relatively-uncommon, benign, cartilagenous tumor of the soft tissue unrelated to bone. It occurs most frequently in the hands and feet of adults in the fourth and fifth decades and presents as a solitary, painless, slowly-growing mass usually measuring <3 cm in diameter. Histologically, it can resemble hyaline cartilage or chondrosarcoma of bone, which is more cellular. Whatever the histologic appearance is, the behavior is uniformly-benign and it does not metastasize so the recommended treatment is local excision. We report a rare case of extraskeletal chondromas in a 30 year-old female who presented with a skin-colored, hard and movable nodule on her right cheek.
