Published: June 2016

Enchondroma represents a common bone tumor of the hand. The scaphoid is a rare location. We report the case of a scaphoid enchondroma presenting as chronic wrist pain following a relatively minor trauma.

The clinical, radiological and therapeutic aspects of this rare condition are discussed.
