Extraskeletal chondroma is a benign tumor that is found most often in the fingers but can be found in the feet as well. A symptom of this lesion is pressure from the slow-growing mass. We present the case of a 58-year-old woman who presented with an extraskeletal chondroma in the plantar aspect of the left first metatarsophalangeal joint with concomitant symptomatic arthrosis at the joint. Operative treatment was excision of the lesion in addition to arthrodesis of the joint attributable to the presence of symptomatic arthrosis. The patient was seen approximately 1 year postoperatively and had no postoperative complications. Distinction between extraskeletal chondromas and other lesions, such as extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcomas, is critical because delayed treatment of the latter has the propensity to lead to detriment to the patient. Therefore, proper diagnosis is critical.

The term chondroma refers to a slow-growing benign tumor. When the tumor arises from the medullary cavity, it is referred to as enchondroma, which is a very common bone tumor. However, if it arises from soft tissues, which is extremely rare, it is referred to as soft tissue chondroma or extraskeletal chondroma.

Article Synopsis
- DICER1 tumor predisposition syndrome can cause different types of tumors, especially in kids.
- A child had a rare tumor called an extraskeletal chondroma in their toe and had a specific type of DICER1 gene change, different from what is usually found.
- This gene change messes up the process of making molecules that help control genes, showing that there are other ways the DICER1 gene can cause problems without completely stopping it from working.

Article Synopsis
- - Extraskeletal chondromas (EC) are rare, benign tumors mainly found in the upper and lower extremities, with only four previous pediatric cases reported in the neck's anterior compartment, and this text discusses the first case in the posterior compartment.
- - Diagnosis of EC can be challenging as they may be mistaken for malignant tumors on imaging, highlighting the need for thorough diagnostic procedures prior to surgery.
- - The treatment primarily involves surgical excision, which shows promising results, as demonstrated by symptom improvement and no recurrence in the presented case after six months of follow-up.
