Abstract:
Chondroma of soft tissue is rare. We report a patient in whom a chondroma occurred within the flexor tendon sheath of the index finger. Magnetic resonance imaging showed the extent of the tumor, which wrapped around flexor tendons within the sheath, but did not invade either tendons or sheath. Total excision was done with preservation of the flexors and flexor tendon sheath. After the operation, the index finger had a full range of motion, and movement was painless.
