Chondroid tumors are a heterogeneous group of neoplasms that all share the production of chondroid matrix. This ranges from a fetal type to mature hyaline cartilage and mirrors its imaging characteristics.The benign chondroid tumors represent some of the most encountered incidental bone lesions, with osteochondroma the most frequent benign bone tumor. Enchondroma is mostly asymptomatic, and yet it is probably the second most common primary bone tumor. Similarly, its malignant counterpart, chondrosarcoma, is the second most common malignant primary bone tumor.The 2013 World Health Organization (WHO) updated this group of tumors, and grade 1 chondrosarcoma was renamed "atypical cartilage tumor" and classified as an intermediate type of tumor, not a malignancy, which better describes its clinical behavior.In this article we summarize changes made in the updated 2013 WHO classification and highlight the diagnostic features differentiating an enchondroma from a low-grade chondrosarcoma. We also describe practical imaging aspects of the remaining chondroid tumors.

Methods: We retrospectively collected CT scan data from 276 patients with pathologically confirmed primary bone tumors from 4 medical centers in Guangdong Province between January, 2010 and August, 2021. A convolutional neural network (CNN) was employed as the deep learning architecture. The optimal baseline deep learning model (R-Net) was determined through transfer learning, and an optimized model (S-Net) was obtained through algorithmic improvements.

Aims: Ossifying fibromyxoid tumour is a rare mesenchymal neoplasm predominantly affecting adults characterised by a multinodular growth pattern and the presence of a fibrous pseudocapsule with areas of ossification. Prompted by the recognition of a non-ossifying ossifying fibromyxoid tumour with lipomatous differentiation which caused diagnostic difficulty, we sought to further explore cases of ossifying fibromyxoid tumour with non-osseous heterologous elements.
Methods And Results: A search of our institutional and consultation archives revealed three additional cases that demonstrated lipomatous components and two cases with cartilaginous differentiation.

Introduction: Cutaneous chondroid syringoma (CS) is a rare benign mixed skin tumor originating from sweat glands. Despite its rarity, accurate diagnosis and management are crucial due to its potential for malignant transformation.
Objective: This study aimed to provide comprehensive insights into the main features of cutaneous CS, encompassing its epidemiology, clinical presentation, and particularly, dermoscopic findings.

Article Synopsis
- - Tenosynovitis with psammomatous calcifications (TPC) is a rare, non-cancerous condition that often affects women and is thought to result from repetitive use or trauma, commonly appearing at sites like the hands, feet, and wrists.
- - In a study involving 18 new cases, most patients presented with painful masses, and imaging often showed benign characteristics, but many of these cases were misdiagnosed as more serious conditions like gout or tumors.
- - Follow-up on patients (mostly for around 30 months) showed no local recurrences after surgical removal, highlighting the necessity for greater awareness among medical professionals regarding TPC.

Introduction: Chondroid syringoma or ceruminous pleomorphic adenoma is a benign mixed cutaneous tumor. It is the second most frequent glandular lesion in the external auditory canal, but no cases associated with bone erosion were found in a PubMed search.
Case Report: The present CARE case report details a chondroid syringoma in the external auditory canal with associated bone lysis, and its management.
