Benign chondroblastoma of bone. Report of a case.
A benign chondroblastoma of bone is reported. It was unusual because it occurred in an old lady, in a toe, and it was not painful and radiologically resembled a chondroma. The coarsely lobulated tumour showed a varied microscopic appearance, but it consisted chiefly of closely packed sheets of small, round polygonal or fusiform cells. There was some calcification present. The literature is reviewed.
