Abstract:
Chondromas are benign cartilaginous tumors, common in the bones of the hands and feet. They represent the most common benign bone tumor of the hand. Often asymptomatic, they can present with pain, deformity, or pathological fracture. We report a case of recurrent hand chondroma in a young adult treated surgically with favorable outcomes in our department. We note that this patient underwent a metacarpophalangeal disarticulation of the fifth finger. Standard radiology and MRI were performed as diagnostic guidelines, and histological analysis of the biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of chondroma. Treatment was primarily surgical, consisting of curettage and graft filling with a graft taken from the iliac crest. After one year of follow-up, the patient's progress is good, with no evidence of recurrence, and the graft is well integrated. The patient remains under continuous surveillance.
