Chondroblastoma, a rare benign bone tumor, typically presents with pain. Surgical treatment involving curettage and bone grafting generally leads to good functional outcomes for patients.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Chondroblastoma is a rare, typically benign bone tumor.
  • It most commonly affects adolescents and young adults.
  • Diagnosis is confirmed through histological examination.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review patients with chondroblastoma treated at a single institution.
  • To evaluate treatment outcomes and functional results.
  • To analyze the characteristics of chondroblastoma in a clinical setting.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 10 patients (6 male, 4 female) aged 13-33 years.
  • Histologically confirmed chondroblastomas treated between 1993 and 2004.
  • Treatment involved intralesional curettage with bone grafting, with or without cement; functional outcomes assessed using the Enneking system.

Main Results:

  • Proximal tibia and femur were the most common sites.
  • Pain was the primary symptom; joint effusion was rare.
  • Two recurrences were observed and successfully treated with repeat surgery.
  • Most patients achieved good or excellent functional outcomes; no metastases or articular collapse occurred.

Conclusions:

  • Chondroblastoma is a rare benign bone tumor presenting with pain.
  • Intralesional curettage and bone grafting are effective treatments.
  • Good to excellent functional outcomes are typically achieved with appropriate management.
