“…Although the origin of soft tissue chondroma is uncertain and controversial [4,29,32], two theories are most widely accepted [28]. The "embryonic remnants theory" postulates that the lesion originates from heterotopic cartilage remnants from any of the first 4 branchial arches.…”

“…Soft tissue chondroma is a soft tissue mass containing histologically normal cartilage, usually found on the hands and feet [3,4]. Soft tissue chondroma of the oral tissue is a rare lesion, occurring most frequently on the tongue but also found on the buccal mucosa [34][35][36][37], hard palate [38][39][40], gingiva [41,42], soft palate [43], and lower lip [45].…”

Soft tissue chondroma of the palate is a rare lesion. We report a rare case of soft tissue chondroma of the hard palate with a review of the literature. A 59-year-old man was referred to our department because of a symptomatic mass on the median anterior margin of the hard palate of 4 year's duration.The lesion was approximately 15×10×8 mm in size and pedunculated. The lesion was excised under local anesthesia, and the pathological diagnosis was soft tissue chondroma. The histopathological findings suggested that the heterotopic formation of cartilage was caused by the metaplastic change of mesenchymal cells into chondrocytes. Postoperative wound healing has been uneventful, with no sign of recurrence during 2 years after surgery.

A 58-year-old male presented to the Outpatients Department for a painless swelling of great toe of right foot, of six months duration. Physical examination revealed a well-defined, firm, fixed, swelling of 2x2 cms on the distal phalanx of great toe of right foot. X-ray of the mass showed a dense soft tissue mass, with no bone involvement. The same was excised and sent for a histopathological examination.Gross examination revealed a well-defined mass of 2x2 cms. Cut section showed a firm, whitish tumour with gelatinous and chalky white areas of calcification, which were covered by a piece of skin on one side [Table/ Fig-1].Microscopic examination showed structure of skin with a tumour in the dermis, which was arranged in lobules which were separated by fibrous septa [Table/ Fig-2,3]. There were islands of mature hyaline cartilage, myxoid areas and foci of granular calcification. Some of the chondrocytes showed atypical nuclei 4]. A histopathological diagnosis of an extraskeletal chondroma was made. DisCussionESC-Soft tissue chondroma is a rare benign cartilaginous tumour and nearly 80% of ESCs are found in the fingers and the rest is seen in hands, feet, toes and trunk [1][2][3][4][5]. Few cases are reported at rare sites like dura, larynx, pharynx, oral cavity, skin, fallopian tube and parotid gland [6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. Pathology Section aBstRaCtExtraskeletal Chondroma (ESC) is uncommon which occurs predominantly in hands and feet. It has a variable histology, with two thirds of the ESCs showing mature hyaline cartilage which is arranged in distinct lobules with fibrosis, or ossification, or myxoid areas and few showing immature patterns, with chondroblasts mimicking extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcomas (ESMCSs). ESCs can recur but they never metastasize, whereas ESMCSs can metastasize, which require aggressive treatment.We are reporting a case of ESC which was located in the distal phalanx of right foot great toe in a 58-year-old male patient. The histopathology in our case showed features of ESC, with some foci showing myxoid stroma and few chondroblasts with atypical pleomorphic nuclei mimicking ESMCS. Hence, the case had to be carefully evaluated to exclude ESMCS and to make the diagnosis of ESC. The treatment was limited to simple excision of the tumour and extensive surgery and post operative radiotherapy were avoided.
