Chondroblastoma

Abstract: Chondroblastoma of the bone is a benign tumor that has well-characterized radiographic and histologic features. It tends to affect the epiphyseal ends of long bones in men during the second and third decades of life. The tumor is located more frequently at other sites in older patients. The treatment of choice is complete curettage with bone grafting, which in our series provided local control in 82% of patients at 2 years' follow-up. Recurrent tumors usually can be treated in the same manner.

“…[4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] Only a few case series have been reported, the largest consisting of 60 to 70 patients. [6][7][8]10,11 The recurrence rate is about 10 to 35% after curettage and reconstruction with either bone graft or polymethylmethacrylate bone cement. 7 We describe treatments and outcomes of 10 patients with chondroblastoma.…”
