수지골에 발생한 골막성 연골종 3례 보고

Abstract

본 울산대학교 의과대학 정형외과학 교실에서는 수지골에 발생한 3레의 골막성 연골종을 치험하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

Periosteal chondroma is a slowly growing benign cartilage tumor of limited size, which develops within and beneath the periosteal connective tissue and characteristically erodes and induces sclerosis of the contiguous cortical bone. The typical morphology of this tumor consists in an area of outer cortex scalloping involving the metaphyseal lesion of a long bone with slightly overhanging edges and a small amount of cartilage calcified matrix adjacent to the scalloping. Histologically this benign tumor can mimic chondrosarcoma. Awareness of this fact is important in order to avoid overdiagnosis and resultant overtreatment of the benign lesion. We report three cases of periosteal chondromas arising in the phalangeal bones of the hand. All were treated by curettage.

No local recurrence was seen following this treatment.
