AI Article Synopsis
- Periosteal chondromas are rare, slow-growing cartilage lesions that develop near the bone surface under the periosteum, commonly affecting males in their 20s.
- A unique case of periosteal chondroma was documented in a 56-year-old male, specifically emerging from the left clavicle.
- This case is notable because it appears to be only the second reported instance of such a tumor in existing English literature.
Article Abstract
Periosteal chondromas (juxtacortical chondromas), are slow growing, rare cartilaginous lesion that arises adjacent to the cortex beneath the periosteum. They occur more in males in their 20s. We report a rare case of periosteal chondroma arising from the left clavicle of a 56 year old male. We could only find one reported case in the English literature of periosteal chondroma arising from the research and to the best of our knowledge, this is the second reported case.
