Extraskeletal juxtaarticular chondroma of the knee

Yumuşak doku kondromları nadir görülen tümörlerdir. Bu lezyonların klinik, radyolojik ve histolojik özelliklerin bilinmesi gereksiz invazif tedavi yöntemlerinden kaçınılması açısından önemlidir. Bu sunumda 40 yaşındaki bir bayan hastanın diz bölgesinde saptanan yumuşak doku kondromunun klinik, radyolojik ve histopatolojik özelliklerini literatür bilgisi ışığında değerlendirdik.

Dizde yumuşak doku kondromu

Extraskeletal chondromas are atypical lesions and their recognition is important to avoid invasive treatment methods like marginal excision. The diagnosis must be confirmed with correlating clinical, radiological and histopathological examination. We report a 40-year-old woman with an extraskeletal chondroma around the knee joint. The radiological and histopathological aspects of the patient are presented along with a review of the literature.
