Abstract
Periosteal chondroma or juxtacortical chondroma is a rare benign bone tumor of cartilaginous origin. It arises from the periosteum, particularly that of the long tubular bones. We present an interesting case of periosteal chondroma involving the phalanx of the right hand presenting as a palpable mass in a 22-year-old male. The slowly growing mass lesion was investigated in our institute. Characteristic imaging findings on the radiograph and MRI were correlated with histopathological findings to confirm the diagnosis. Establishment of benignity of the lesion guided the surgical management of the patient.
