Shoulder pain due to enchondroma of the humerus

Enkondrom kemiğin medüller kavitesi içinde gelişen yaygın görülen benign hyalin kartilajinözneoplazmdır. Uzun kemik enkondromları genellikle asemptomatiktir ve tesadüfen bulunurlar. Ağrıen yaygın ortaya çıkan semptomdur. Ağrı olmayan hastalarda lezyon genellikle diğer sağlıkproblemleri araştırılırken tesadüfen bulunur. En yaygın klinik görünümü impingement sendromuve rotator manşon yırtığı şeklindedir. Karakteristik radyografik görünümü kısa tübüler kemiklerindiafizi veya uzun kemiklerin metafizi içindeki soliter lüsent lezyondur. Bu yazıda humerusproksimal epifizinde enkondrom saptanan 23 yaşında bir kadın hasta sunulmuştur.

Humerus enkondromuna bağlı gelişen omuz ağrısı

Enchondromas, the second most common osseous neoplasms, are benign mature hyalinecartilaginous neoplasms that are usually solitary lesions in intramedullary bone. Enchondromas ofthe long bones are usually asymptomatic and often identified radiographically as an incidentalfinding. Pain is the most commonly encountered symptom. The most common clinicalpresentations are impingement syndrome and rotator cuff tears, respectively. The characteristicradiographic appearance is solitary lucent lesion in the diaphyseal part of short tubular bone or inthe metaphyseal part of the long bones. We present a case of a 23 year old woman with humeralenchondroma in this case report.
