Chondrogenic tumors

Chondrogenic tumor

Other names: Cartilage tumors
Osteochondroma, a common type of non-cancerous chondrogenic tumors
Specialty| Orthopedics
Types| Noncancerous (benign), cancerous (malignant) or intermediate locally aggressive[1]
Diagnostic method| Medical imaging[1]
Prognosis| Varies with type[1]
Frequency| Commonest type of primary bone tumor[1]

Chondrogenic tumors, also known as cartilage tumors, are a type of bone tumor that develop in cartilage, and are classified into non-cancerous, cancerous and intermediate locally aggressive types.[1][2]

Diagnosis is made using medical imaging, often when investigating another problem.[3] Tests include X-ray, CT scan, Magnetic resonance imaging and Positron emission tomography.[1] The precise diagnosis is based on histology.[1]

They are the most common type of bone tumor that arises from bone itself.[1] The cancerous types represent around a quarter of all cancerous bone tumors, but are rare compared to other cancers.[1][3]

## Classification[edit | edit source]

The 2020 World Health Organization (WHO) classification system divides chondrogenic tumors into non-cancerous, cancerous and intermediate locally aggressive types.[4][5]

Type  | Name  | Image

|
|

Non-cancerous | Subungal exostosis[2] |
Bizarre parosteal osteochondromatous proliferation[2] |
Periosteal chondroma[2] |
Enchondroma[2] |
Osteochondroma[2] |
Chondroblastoma[2] |
Chondromyxoid fibroma[2] |
Osteochondromyxoma[2] |
Locally aggressive | Chondromatosis[2] |
Atypical cartilaginous tumor (ACT)/Chondrosarcoma grade I in limbs[1][2] |
Cancerous (Chondrosarcoma)  | Conventional chondrosarcoma grade I (axial skeleton)-III[1][2] |
Clear cell chondrosarcoma[2] |
Mesenchymal chondrosarcoma[2] |
Dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma[2] |

## Diagnosis[edit | edit source]

Diagnosis includes medical imaging.[1] Distinguishing a large non-cancerous cartilage tumor, such as an enchondroma, from a chondrosarcoma grade I or atypical cartilaginous tumour is difficult.[6] Often, there are overlapping histological features.[7]

## Treatment[edit | edit source]

Depending on whether the tumor is cancerous or non-cancerous, and where the tumor is located, management includes observation, scraping or surgically cutting the tumor out.[7]

## Epidemiology[edit | edit source]

Chondrogenic tumors are the most common type of bone tumor that arise from bone itself.[1] Cancerous chondrogenic tumors represent around 25% of all cancerous bone tumors.[1] Osteochondroma and enchondroma are the most common non-cancerous types, and conventional chondrosarcoma is the most common cancerous type.[1]

Of all chondrogenic tumors, 28.5% are osteochondroma, 29.1% enchondroma, 21.7% conventional chondrosarcoma grade I-III, less than 5% are subungual exostosis and bizarre parosteal osteochondromatous proliferation combined, and the least common is mesenchymal chondrosarcoma at less than 1%, as reported by the WHO in 2020.[1]
