Abstract

There are various cartilagenous tumors which can be found within soft tissue. Among them, extraskeletal chondroma is benign and rare tumor that, is most frequently found in the hands adjacent to priarticular tissues or tenosynovium of the hands. They can exhibit worrisome radiographic and histologic features that may mimic chondrosarcoma. We experienced a case of extraskeletal chondroma in plantar aspect of the foot occurred in a 64 year old male patient. After investigation with MRI, the mass seemed to be benign. Excisional biopsy was performed, and the histologic outcome was an extraskeletal chondroma. Because this kind of tumor is rare and benign, we report this case with reviewing of the literatures.
