Abstract:
In skeletally immature people, chondroblastoma is an uncommon benign-appearing tumor that develops in the epiphysis of long bones. It is a kind of tumor that produces cartilage and makes up less than 1% of all bone cancers. Here, we report a case of a 23-year-old boy having chondroblastoma of the distal phalanx of the left great toe, which is an unusual site for the occurrence of chondroblastoma. Chondroblastoma is an exceptionally rare primary bone tumor that presents at the distal phalanx of the great toe.
