title: Chondroblastoma.
abstract: Chondroblastoma of the bone is a benign tumor that has well-characterized radiographic and histologic features. It tends to affect the epiphyseal ends of long bones in men during the second and third decades of life. The tumor is located more frequently at other sites in older patients. The treatment of choice is complete curettage with bone grafting, which in our series provided local control in 82% of patients at 2 years' follow-up. Recurrent tumors usually can be treated in the same manner.
