Abstract

Juxtacortical chondroma is an uncommon benign cartilaginous tumor that arises under or in the periosteum on the surface of the cortical bone. The term “Juxtacortical Chondroma” was coined by Jaffe in 1956. Recently we have exprienced a 10-year-old male with juxtacortical chondroma in the fourth proximal phalanx. In addition, this case had an enchondroma in the same phalanx. This time, we reported this case and gave consideration to the clinical and pathological findings of this case.
