Enchondroma: a case report and literature review.
An unusual case of enchondroma located in the distal phalanx of the left third toe is presented with a review of literature. An enchondroma is a benign tumor centrally located in a bone. This osseous dysplasia is characterized by an excess of mature hypertrophic hyaline cartilage that has not resorbed or ossified in the normal fashion. Pathologic, clinical, and radiographic findings will be discussed.
