Enchondromas are benign tumours that may become symptomatic due to expansive pressure on the surrounding bone. In this case, a 27-year-old male developed a symptomatic enchondroma within the proximal phalanx of his left fourth toe. Resection and insertion of a bone graft were considered optimal management. Histopathology testing confirmed the diagnosis of an isolated enchondroma. The patient was monitored closely for 3 months postoperatively and reported full satisfaction at his 12-month review. Enchondroma resection and insertion of a tibial bone graft may provide an effective long-term solution for a symptomatic enchondroma of the toe.

Evaluation of the value of dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI for the diagnosis and follow-up of central cartilage tumors.
Eur J Radiol

Department of Radiology and Medical Imaging, Ghent University Hospital, Corneel, Heymanslaan 10, 9000 Ghent, Belgium.
Objectives: To evaluate the value of (dynamic) contrast-enhanced MRI for the diagnosis and follow-up of central cartilage tumors (CCT) of the proximal humerus, distal femur and proximal tibia.
Materials & Methods: 97 patients (44 ± 11 years, 31men) with a CCT (histopathologically proven and/or > 2 years follow-up (5 ± 3 years)) were retrospectively/consecutively included at the Ghent University Hospital (Belgium, 2003-2021). Thickness of the enhancing rim and dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI parameters of the entire tumor were calculated.

Article Synopsis
- * Approximately 80% of individuals with UBCs present without symptoms unless a fracture occurs, leading to mild pain and tenderness, and diagnosis can be confirmed through clinical evaluation and imaging.
- * A case study highlights a 16-year-old girl with a UBC in her proximal humerus who experienced multiple refractures, ultimately treated through surgery, leading to restored function of her arm.

Fibrocartilaginous dysplasia (FCD) is a variant of fibrous dysplasia that often involves the proximal femur in young adults. It has a similar appearance on imaging as other entities but has stippled calcifications within the lesion. The differential diagnosis often includes benign and malignant tumors such as fibrous dysplasia, chondroblastoma, enchondroma, and chondrosarcoma.

Introduction: ?Introduction: Periosteal chondromas are rare, slow-growing, benign cartilaginous tumors arising from the cortical surface of the bone, beneath the periosteal membrane. Typically affect young males, the most common site being the proximal humerus. There have been no reported cases of periosteal chondroma of the talus in the literature.

A 54-year-old man with Gleason 9 prostate cancer with reported nodal and skeletal metastases was referred to us. Outside hospital reports described abnormal left proximal humerus activity on bone scan concerning for metastasis; however, concurrent PSMA PET/CT did not show activity in this lesion. Further review of the PET/CT images revealed characteristic features of enchondroma in the left humeral lesion.
