Extraskeletal chondroma is a benign soft tissue tumor which is composed of hyaline cartilage but arises from the fibrous stroma rather than from mature cartilaginous or osseous tissue. Extraskeletal chondroma is relatively rare and occurs most frequently in the soft tissue around the joints of hands and feet. We present one case of extraskeletal chondroma in a finger of a young woman.

Periosteal chondroma is a rare, slow-growing, benign cartilaginous tumor that develops between the periosteum and cortex, but there are no reports of multiple periosteal chondroma of the toes. A 19-year-old male presented with a palpable mass of the right fourth toe with tenderness for one year. A radiology examination revealed multiple, radio-lucent lesions with mild cortical irregularity. The magnetic resonance imaging findings were chondrogenic tumors with multiple, well-defined T1-low and T2-high signal enhanced lesions involved in the fourth proximal, middle, and distal phalanges. The tumors were removed by a surgical resection and curettage. Histologically, the tumors were proven to be periosteal chondroma.

연부조직에서의 연골종은 주로 수부에서 드물게 보고되고 있으나, 견관절의 회전근 개 내에 발생한 경우는 보고된 바 없다. 저자들은 견관절의 상관절와순 파열로 내원한 30세 남자에서 발견된 극상건 내 연골종을 관절경적으로 치료하여 좋은 결과를 얻었기에 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하고자 한다.

Extra-skeletal chondroma, characterized by its lack of connection with the adjacent bone, includes synovial chondromatosis, intra-articular and para-articular chondroma, and soft tissue chondroma. Among them, the last two lesions are extremely rare. This is the case about 20-year-old soldier, who had complained of tenderness of the knee, pain and fullness during knee flexion and limitation of motion after a hard military training. We found a mass in the x-ray and MRI and resect the mass surgically, which was a $5.5{\times}4{\times}3$ cm size hard solitary mass. On microscopic finding, it was consisted of lobulated hyaline cartilage and outer fibrous capsule, and we ascertained it as para-articular chondroma. We experienced a case of para-articular chondroma in the infrapatellar fat pad of the knee joint and present its clinical, radiologic and pathologic findings with literature review.

Extraarticular synovial chondromatosis is a very rare disease which affects the hands, feet, and wrists most commonly. In cases of involvement around large joints, the tissues around knee are usually involved. It arises from tendon sheath, capsular tissue and bursae. It is an idiopathic process in which the synovial cells undergo the metaplasia into cartilage cells. Chondroid matrix of the cartilaginous nodules calcify and ossify to be the osteochondroma. On simple radiograms before calcification and/or ossification of the chondroid tissues the cartilaginous nodules look normal on radiograms. Therefore MRI is needed to establish the diagnosis. We report a case of extraarticular pan-peri-meniscal synovial chondroma around right knee, initially suspected as a ganglion cyst which clinically mimicked a large rounded lesion or a cystic lesion on MRI.

Chondromyxoid fibroma occurring in the hand is a rare benign tumor. Radiologically and histologically, it should be differentiated from the other benign bone lesions in the hand, such as enchondroma, chondroblastoma, giant cell reparative granuloma and chondrosarcoma. This report is dealt with 59-year-old female and 19-year-old male patient presenting lesions on their digits anddescribed unusual clinical, radiological and pathological features.

In benign exophytic lesion in TMJ such as osteoma, chondroma, osteochondroma, synovial chondromatosis etc, symptom such as pain, mouth opening limitation, Most case of condylar exophytic lesion manifest with facial asymmetry, malocclusion, mandibular midline deviation. An osteochondroma and synovial chondromatosis are most commom benign condylar tumor. However this tumor is most frequently found on long bone and flat bone and is unusual on the skull. We report cases of osteochondroma, synovial chondromatosis of TMJ and review literatures.

Synovial chondroma is an uncommon benign lesion characterized by metaplastic cartilage formation within the synovial connective tissue, usually intraarticular, commonly affects the knee, hip and elbow. We would like to present the case of a 65-year-old man suffering from synovial chondroma of the right elbow responsible for radial nerve entrapment neuropathy. This is a case of synovial chondroma of the right elbow in an 65-year-old man presenting with pain and restricted joint movement of the right elbow, loss of extension and sensation of the right thumb and wrist. Plain radiographs showed narrowing of elbow joint space, bony spur on the edge of the joint, and radio-opaque sclerotic change of subchondral area. MRI revealed $16{\times}12$ mm sized round mass on the radial head, homogenous low signal on T1WI, heterogenous high and low signal on T2WI. The patient underwent marginal excision of the mass, compressing the radial nerve. Diagnosis was confirmed by histologic examination.

Chondrolipomas, which are lipomas with chondroid metaplasia, are rare benign soft tissue tumors with no relevant epidemiological reports or radiological information. A limited number of lipomas with osteo/chondroid differentiation have been reported in the literature between 1960 and 2008. Moreover, only few studies have described the radiologic findings of chondrolipomas. Herein, we present a case of chrondrolipoma arising from the left supraclavicular region in a 77-year-old female.

Parosteal lipoma is a rare tumor that occurs very close to the bone, and accounts for approximately 0.3% of all lipomas. Chondrolipoma, a lipoma with cartilaginous metaplasia, is also a rare tumor consisting of mature adipose and cartilage tissues. Therefore, a tumor with characteristics of both parosteal lipoma and chondrolipoma simultaneously is extremely rare. Herein, we report the imaging findings of a parosteal chondrolipoma arising in the right periscapular area, confirmed based on surgical resection and histopathologic examination.
