Abstract
- Among various soft tissue tumors, extraskeletal chondroma is a rare benign cartilaginous tumor most frequently found in the hands, adjacent to periarticular tissue. We recently experienced a case of extraskeletal chondroma in a 47-year-old woman. The skin lesion showed a slowly-growing, solitary nodule on the dorsal aspect of her foot, causing pain and tenderness. An excisional biopsy was undertaken, revealing a well-encapsulated subcutaneous nodule which was mainly composed of mature hyaline cartilage.
