Abstract:
Cartilage-forming tumors are a broad and diverse group of neoplasms frequently affecting the skeleton. Distinguishing between the members of this group is important because of significant differences in treatment and prognosis. Accurate diagnosis can be challenging because of similarities in their clinical, radiographic, and pathologic features. Immunohistochemistry and molecular tools are helpful in select instances. Therefore, careful evaluation and correlation of these features are essential in arriving at the correct diagnosis and appropriate patient management. This review provides an overview of the current literature, emphasizing helpful features in diagnosis.

Bone Formation by Endochondral Ossification
Development of the Limb Synovial Joints
The mesenchymal stem cells differentiate into chondrocytes that form the hyaline cartilage, and later the cartilaginous model of the bone. This model further transforms into a bone. This process is known as endochondral ossification.
During development, the limbs...

Synchondrosis
A synchondrosis ("joined by cartilage") is a cartilaginous joint where bones are connected by hyaline cartilage. Synchondrosis may be temporary...
Changes in the Appendicular Skeleton with Age
Initially, the limb buds consist of a core of mesenchyme covered by a layer of ectoderm. The ectoderm at the end of the limb bud thickens to form a narrow crest called the apical ectodermal ridge. This ridge stimulates the underlying...
