title: [Chondroma of the soft tissues of the hand. Report of a recurrent case].
abstract: A twenty six-year-old man presented a mass of the fifth left finger. X Ray and pathological examination after surgical treatment showed an extraskeletal chondroma. One month later, this tumor recurred, leading to a second surgical procedure. At one year follow up there was no evidence of new recurrence. A review of the literature shows that recurrence of this type of tumor is extremely rare. Also, it stresses the importance of a proper diagnosis which allows an appropriate treatment initially and after a recurrence.
