“…Soft tissue chondromas identified in all locations are usually diagnosed in the fourth to seventh decades of life and have been noted to occur in both men and women with equal frequency 8. Soft tissue chondromas have been reported in pelvic organs including the prostate, scrotum and testis; however, there have only been five reported cases of soft tissue chondroma of the bladder 2–6 8…”

“…All published cases of soft tissue chondroma of the urinary bladder have occurred in women in their fifth to seventh decades with the lesion identified at the anterior wall of the bladder in four cases and at the ventral dome of the bladder in one case 2–6. All cases of soft tissue chondroma of the bladder have been diagnosed during the investigation for abdominal or pelvic pain or lower urinary tract symptoms 2–6. A single reported case of soft tissue chondroma of the bladder was identified in a patient with a recent diagnosis of high-grade urothelial carcinoma of the bladder 3.…”

“…An extraosseous or soft tissue chondroma is a rare, benign cartilaginous tumour characterised by the formation of mature hyaline cartilage with the majority located within the medullary cavity of long bones 1. Soft tissue chondromas are extremely rare with only five cases affecting the bladder being reported in the literature 2–6. We describe the case of a 65-year-old woman diagnosed with a soft tissue chondroma of her bladder while being investigated for lower urinary tract symptoms.…”

An extraosseous or soft tissue chondroma is a rare, benign cartilaginous tumour characterised by the formation of mature hyaline cartilage. The majority of osseous chondromas are located within the medullary cavity of long bones. Soft tissue chondromas are extremely rare with only five cases affecting the bladder being reported in the literature. Soft tissue chondroma of the bladder is a rare cause of lower urinary tract symptoms and abdominopelvic pain. All reported cases of soft tissue chondromas of the bladder have occurred in women in their fifth to seventh decades of life. We describe the case of a 65-year-old woman diagnosed with a soft tissue chondroma of her bladder while being investigated for lower urinary tract symptoms.

“…Está constituido por células de cartílago maduro sin hueso, sin embargo, presenta calcificaciones focales 13 . En cuanto a la malignidad, no es común que evolucione a lesiones malignas, aunque se han reportado algunos casos 14 , por lo cual se recomienda una adecuada planificación e implementación de una técnica quirúrgica correcta 15 y, posteriormente, hacer seguimientos periódicos 16 .…”

ResumenIntroducción. El condroma es una neoplasia benigna de origen mesenquimal y de etiología desconocida, muy infrecuente en los tejidos blandos debido a su constitución de células de cartílago maduro sin hueso; sin embargo, son frecuentes las calcificaciones focales. Al presentarse en cabeza y cuello, suele hacerlo en el maxilar o el paladar duro, y son pocos los reportes de este tumor en el espacio parafaríngeo. Se reporta el caso de una paciente de 68 años de edad, que acudió a consulta por dolor en el paladar blando, cefalea y dolor paratiroideo izquierdo asociado a disfagia de cuatro años de evolución. Se practicaron los estudios pertinentes y, finalmente, se confirmó el diagnóstico de condroma mediante biopsia. Discusión. Los condromas muy rara vez se encuentran en los tejidos blandos, por lo cual se sugiere que el diagnóstico sea cuidadosamente orientado para descartar una posible malignidad de la lesión y que los controles posquirúrgicos sean frecuentes. Palabras clave: condroma; faringe; neoplasias faríngeas; diagnóstico. AbstractIntroduction: Chondroma is a benign neoplasm of mesenchymal origin and of unknown etiology, very infrequently appearing in the soft tissues due to its constitution of mature cartilage cells without bone; however, they usually present focal calcifications. When occurring in the head and neck, they usually appear in the jaw or hard palate. Just a few cases of this pathology are reported in the pharynx. Materials and Methods:We present a case of a female 68 years old, who came to the clinic due to pain in the soft palate, headache and left parathyroid pain associated with dysphagia, of four years of evolution. Corresponding studies were carried out and finally the diagnosis of chondroma was confirmed by biopsy. Discusion: Chondromas are rarely found in the soft tissues, suggesting that the diagnosis should be carefully oriented to rule out possible malignancy of the lesion and that post-surgical controls should be frequent.

“…Chondroma is a benign tumour of mesenchymal origin and slow growth that is composed of cartilage and is rarely located in soft tissues, being more commonly described in the fingers, limbs, and head or neck [ 1 ]. To date, only four cases of this type of tumour have been described in the bladder according to our knowledge [ 2 – 5 ], which makes it an extremely rare pathologic condition.…”

Chondroma is a benign tumour of mesenchymal origin that is composed of cartilage and rarely located in soft tissues, being described so far only in four cases, as located in the bladder, according to our knowledge. We describe the fifth case of a 67-year-old woman who consulted for microscopic haematuria, with an endoscopic finding of submucosal nodular image in the anterior wall of the bladder, which after resection and the histologic study shows cartilage and fibroconnective tissue, in part hyalinised, and positive immunohistochemical staining of cells with vimentin and S-100; this fact can support the diagnosis of bladder chondroma.
