title: Enchondroma of the scaphoid.
abstract: Enchondroma is a common benign cartilaginous tumour which arises from the medullary cavity, most commonly in the phalanges of the hands and feet. Enchondroma involving the carpal bones, however, is rare; only three cases of scaphoid enchondromata and one patient with multiple carpal enchondromata have been reported in the English literature. We report the diagnosis and treatment of a case of scaphoid enchondroma presenting as chronic wrist pain after relatively trivial injury.
