Chondroblastoma of the knee in a teenager

Chondroblastoma is an uncommon osseous neoplasm that accounts for less than 1% of all bone tumors. Characteristically it arises in the epiphysis or apophysis of long bones in young patients and may extend into the metaphysis. A sixteen-year-old male presents with a 1-year history of left knee pain a...

description Chondroblastoma is an uncommon osseous neoplasm that accounts for less than 1% of all bone tumors. Characteristically it arises in the epiphysis or apophysis of long bones in young patients and may extend into the metaphysis. A sixteen-year-old male presents with a 1-year history of left knee pain associated with joint stiffness and interfering with performing daily activities. Radiographic and contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging favored the diagnosis of chondroblastoma. This was then confirmed histologically. The clinical signs and symptoms of Chondroblastoma are usually nonspecific, pain is most often moderate and can be revealed as a result of a trauma. The definitive diagnosis is mainly pathological due to the lack of specificity of radiological findings consistent with the presented case.
