Benign and malignant cartilage tumors of bone and joint: their anatomic and theoretical basis with an emphasis on radiology, pathology and clinical biology. II. Juxtacortical cartilage tumors

Skeletal Radiol. 1999 Jan;28(1):1-20. doi: 10.1007/s002560050466.

Abstract

In part I, we reviewed the varied clinical presentations, pathogenesis, histologic findings, radiologic findings, and treatment of intramedullary cartilaginous lesions of bone. In this section, we will evaluate our cases and consultations of juxtacortical cartilaginous tumors. Radiographic differential diagnosis includes the numerous juxtacortical lesions particularly osteochondroma, parosteal chondroma, Trevor's disease, trauma (fracture and periostitis ossificans), and the low- and high-grade surface osteosarcomas. By emphasizing pathogenesis in conjunction with radiographic and histologic findings, pitfalls in diagnosis and subsequent treatment can be avoided in such cases.
