“…MRI, however, is more suitable for observing the true thickness of the cartilage cap, which shows high signal intensity on T2-weighted MRI images. A thickness more than 2 cm may imply the possibility of transformation to chondrosarcoma [10]. The cap was 9 mm thick in the current case, suggesting a benign osteochondroma.…”

Winged deformity of the scapula is deWned as prominence of the medial border of the scapula. Osteochondroma arising from the ventral side of the scapula has been demonstrated to cause the mechanical symptoms of winged deformation. We present a 22-year-old man with winged deformity of the left scapula due to osteochondroma. Complete removal of the tumor relieved the symptoms, and histopathologic examination conWrmed benign osteochondroma. There were no signs of recurrence on radiological images at the last follow-up of 10 months.

“…McLeod [14] and the Netherland's Committee [17] each reported one case and Dahlin [4] four cases in the thoracic spine. Feldmann [5] has collected 692 cases from the lkerature and found four cases in the cervical spine, one in the thoracic spine, and four in the lumbar spine. McLeod's case [14, R. MacLeod, personal communication] is a woman of 24 years who had a chondroblastoma of T'/discovered because of dorsal pain for 3 months with weakness of the lower limbs.…”

The authors report the case of a 9-year-old child which suffered from a chondroblastoma of the cervical spine. He had clinical signs of superior mediastinum compression with inflammation of the respiratory upper air-way. Surgery was performed. Diagnosis was established by the pathologist. The recurrence one year later was treated again by surgery and also by radiotherapy. Another recurrence four years later was fatal. The difficulties of the diagnosis and the appearance of recurrences in some cases of chondroblastoma are reviewed in the literature.

“…Chondroblastomas have an incidence of 1% and arise from the epiphyses of long bones [1,2]. They commonly occur in the second decade but have been reported to present at unusual locations in the older population [3,4]. Literature consists primarily of case reports of chondroblastoma affecting sesamoids with involvement of the patella reported in most cases [2,9,10].…”

“…They commonly arise from the epiphyses of long bones such as the femur, tibia and humerus [2]. Chondroblastomas commonly affect people in their second decade of life [3]; however, presentation at unusual sites has been reported in older patients [4]. Chondroblastoma affecting the hand and wrist is very rare [5].…”

Chondroblastoma of a Thumb Sesamoid: a Case Report and Review of Literature

Chondroblastomas are benign tumours commonly arising at the epiphysis of long bones such as the femur, tibia and humerus. Literature consists primarily of case reports describing chondroblastomas arising at unusual sites such as the carpus and patella. We report a yet unreported case of a chondroblastoma affecting a thumb sesamoid which was treated successfully by excision. A 27-year-old female was referred to the orthopaedic specialist service with a history of a gradually increasing swelling overlying her thumb on the volar aspect. Ultrasound examination raised a suspicion of either a ganglion cyst or a giant cell tumour. A biopsy confirmed it to be chondroblastoma. CT and MRI scans were then performed to know more about the extent of the tumour. It was confined to the sesamoid of the thumb. An excision performed under general anaesthesia proved to be curative. The patient continues to be asymptomatic 18 months after the surgery and has since returned back to her job as a waitress.
