“…5 Literature reports that the oral cavity soft tissue chondromas are most commonly seen in adults, with the female sex more prevalent and the common areas being the lateral tongue and dorsum of the tongue. 6,7 While the lateral and dorsum of the tongue are the most common, the anterior ⅔ is generally where the lesions are found, making this posterior lesion a rare documented occurrence. 8 When comparing pediatric specific population, it appears additionally there is predilection towards female sex, like in the case report presented above.…”

“…5 Many pediatric patients had no symptoms and a long period of indolence prior to presentation, with average of pediatric presentation being 2.5 years with the very limited case reports available. [4][5][6][7][8] When looking at adult population who notated growth starting in pediatric years, the average time to presentation was found to be 22.5 years ranging in adults in the early 20s to early 40s. 7 When reviewing the available data for pediatric oral chondromas in general, of the 47 cases known to date excluding this report above, to our knowledge it appears, less than a quarter of those cases are attributed to pediatric causes, and the overwhelming majority is located on the tongue followed by the gingiva.…”

Chondromas are tumors that result from chondroid differentiation most frequently occurring in areas where chondrocytes are present. Rarely, they can present in soft tissues, such as the tongue. This case report will review the extra skeletal chondroma found on the posterior tongue of an asymptomatic 16-year-old female. Discussed within this case report will include the importance of histopathological analysis in distinguishing enchondroma versus chondrosarcoma and review the malignant transformation rate. Additionally, it will compare the trends of chondromas found in the oral cavity that have been previously published. This case will highlight the importance of recognizing chondromas in unusual places, such as the origin of soft tissues, and emphasize the importance of early diagnosis, surgical intervention and providing optimal outcomes for young patients.

“…However, conventional STCs are readily recognized by their small size (often less than 3 cm) and peri-articular acral location, typically in the hands and feet (1,(3)(4)(5)(6). They are rarely found in other parts of the body (7)(8)(9)(10). STCs are usually treated with conservative local excision sparing the patient unnecessary radical surgery and decreasing morbidity (11,12), with local recurrences reported in 10-18% of cases (4)(5)(6).…”

Imaging of rare appendicular non-acral soft-tissue chondromas in adults with histopathologic correlation

Background Soft-tissue chondroma (STC) is a rare benign soft tissue tumor that arises primarily in acral extra-skeletal locations. Occasionally, STCs may arise in more proximal non-acral locations, accompanied by non-classic features that label them as indeterminate lesions and pose diagnostic challenge for both radiologists and pathologists alike. Purpose To explicate the potential of diagnostic imaging in the identification and characterization of appendicular non-acral STCs with emphasis on their morphologic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) enhancement. Material and Methods Our clinical database records were searched for patients with histologically proven primary soft-tissue chondroid lesions over a five-year period. Two musculoskeletal (MSK) trained radiologists evaluated the imaging studies and an MSK pathologist revised the pathological findings. Results The study included six cases of appendicular non-acral STCs (mean age = 40.5 years). The mean size of the tumors was 5.6 cm, with four localized to the knee region, one in the thigh, and one in the sternoclavicular region. All cases showed high signal intensity matrix with low-signal intensity septa on T2-weighted MRI and post-contrast marginal/septal enhancement. The lesions were lobulated and lacked host tissue reaction except for one showing subjacent mild soft-tissue edema. Histologically, the cases lacked overt features of malignancy although one was originally misdiagnosed as chondrosarcoma. Conclusion Non-acral STCs are benign cartilaginous tumors that may pose a diagnostic challenge, both radiologically and pathologically. Collaborative imaging and pathologic workup is needed for better characterization of non-aggression of these lesions, and to avoid diagnostic pitfalls and unnecessary radical resections.
