“…Our literature analysis of EC affecting the hand and upper extremity (Table 1) revealed 25 cases reported [2,[4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16], located in digits (eight cases), within the carpal tunnel (three), or in other sites in the hand (ten); in four cases, information about the exact location was missing. The average size ranged from 0.5 to 12 cm in an estimated diameter.…”

Introduction. Trigger finger is ten times less common than trigger thumb in infants and children and, unlike trigger thumb, may arise from a variety of underlying causes. To our knowledge, we describe the first case of pediatric trigger finger secondary to an extraskeletal chondroma. Case Presentation. We report the case of an 11-year-old girl presenting with a typical history of triggering of the fourth finger, in whom a nodule attached to the flexor digitorum superficialis was found; clinical, ultrasound, and operative findings are described. Histological analysis was diagnostic of extraskeletal chondroma, also known as chondroma of soft tissues. Conclusion. This is a very uncommon benign cartilaginous tumor, mostly reported in patients aged 30 to 60 years (just one pediatric extraskeletal chondroma of the hand has been described), and presentation with trigger finger has been reported just once, in a 76-year-old man. This condition should be considered in the differential diagnosis of pediatric trigger finger.

“…It defines the contour, the extent, the shape, calcification and the relation of the tumour to the surrounding structures. Sometime FNAC or core needle biopsy is required to determine the exact diagnosis preoperatively, especially when the physician worried about malignancy [11] . Even by MRI, this case was query regarding the benign nature of the lesion, the core needle biopsy was not conclusive as well.…”

Introduction: Extra Skeletal Chondroma (ESC) is a benign, slow-growing cartilaginous tumour arising from tenosynovial sheaths. The aim of this article is to report and discuss a case of ESC affecting Ring finger flexor tendon Sheath, rare presentation. A 11-year-old female presented with a swelling in the volar aspect a of the right middle finger flexor tendon sheath. On clinical examination, there was a 4cm/ 1cm non-tender, hard, ill-defined mass. Ultrasound showed a large well defined thick wall mass, located inside flexor tendon sheath. Magnetic Resonance Imaging showed a large well defined mass involving the flexor tendon sheath of Ring finger. The patient underwent wide local excision under regional block. The histopathological examination of the specimen revealed binucleated chondrocytes with dots of calcification confirming Extra Skeletal Chondroma. Discussion: There are many theories trying to explain the origin of ESC, as some authors think that it originates from the pluripotent cells of the tenosynovium, while others state that it may be derived from metaplasia of the tendon sheath. In this case, the lesion was completely surrounded by fibers away from the nearby tendons sheath, and periosteum. Conclusion: Extra skeletal chondroma is a rare benign lesion, although mostly affect the upper extremities, it can be found anywhere in the body, histopathological examination of the specimen is the diagnostic method of choice.

“…More specifically, they found that 49% were located at the fingers, 15% at the hands, 11% at the toes, 10% at the feet, 4% at the forearms, and 11% at other sites. ESCs have also been described in the popliteal region [13] , Hoffa's infrapatellar fat [14] , [15] , wrist [16] , elbow joint [17] , while some more rare locations can be the gluteal region [18] , diaphragm [19] , anterior abdominal wall [20] , axilla [21] , scalp [22] , preauricular region [4] , dura [23] , larynx [24] , pharynx [25] , neck [26] , oral cavity [27] , skin [28] , fallopian tube [29] , and parotid gland [30] .…”

Extraskeletal chondroma is a rare benign tumor with symptoms that could mimic other common musculoskeletal pathological entities. We present a rare case of an extraskeletal para-articular chondroma of the first metatarsophalangeal joint which was initially misinterpreted as joint synovitis, based on magnetic resonance imaging findings. Histology revealed benign chondroma of the foot, which was finally treated with radical surgical excision. More than 2 years postoperatively, no recurrence of the tumor has been encountered.
