The chondroma of the hand is a benign cartilaginous tumor that results from an absence of normal enchondral ossification below the growth plate. Most often it is unique, but also realizes multiple forms or enchondromatosis. The risk of sarcomatous transformation justifies surgery. The authors report a retrospective study of 11 cases of hand chondroma collected at the Traumatology Orthopedics II service of the Mohamed V Military Hospital in Rabat over a period of 6 years, between January 2014 and December 2019. Our present work aims to study the epidemiological, clinical aspects, iconographic, histopathologic features and pronostic of hand chondroma, to report the experience of service in the surgical management of these tumors and to discuss our results by comparing with data from recent literature.
