Periarticular soft tissue chondroma around the knee and shoulder joint – report of 2 cases

Abstract

Soft tissue chondroma is a rare benign cartilaginous tumor with a typical localization in the hands and feet. The periarticular development of the tumor, combined with its non-specific radiographic manifestation, can lead to serious diagnostic difficulties. We present 2 clinical cases of periarticular soft tissue chondroma, diagnosed and treated in our clinic within the last 2 months.
