“…Cystoscopic examination revealed a whitish submucosal mass with a smooth, well-defined surface. Interestingly, all bladder chondromas reported to date were located at the anterior wall or bladder dome [2][3][4][5][6][7] (Table 1). Transurethral resection is an effective management strategy for bladder chondromas, and no recurrence has been reported following this procedure.…”

Chondroma of the urinary bladder

Rationale: Chondromas are benign tumors comprising cartilaginous tissue that commonly occur in the small bones of the hands and feet. Chondromas are extremely rare in extraskeletal soft tissues, and only six cases of bladder chondromas have been reported thus far. Patient concerns: A 75-year-old woman presented with abdominal pain and urinary symptoms, including increased frequency and a weak stream. Diagnosis: Cystoscopy revealed a well-defined bladder mass over the anterior bladder wall. The pathology report showed neoplastic chondrocytes within the hyalinized and focal myxoid matrix, and immunopositivity for S-100, leading to the seventh known diagnosis of bladder chondroma. Interventions: The tumor was endoscopically resected. The postoperative stay was uneventful, and 5 days later, the patient was discharged after the removal of the urinary catheter. Outcomes: One month after surgery, repeated cystoscopy showed no recurrence of the bladder tumor, and the patient reported improvement in urinary symptoms and relief of lower abdominal pain. Lessons: Chondromas of the urinary bladder can present as urinary symptoms and abdominal pain in older patients. Transurethral resection is the treatment of choice.

“…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. 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.

Chondroma in the Urinary Bladder: An Extremely Rare Finding

Chondroma, commonly observed in the bones, has limited documentation when found in soft tissues. To date, only 8 chondromas in the urinary bladder have been reported, all in females. Here, we describe a 54‐year‐old female who presented with a chondroma located at the anterior wall of the urinary bladder. An incidental 5 mm enhanced focus was identified on the right bladder wall during a contrast‐enhanced computerized tomography (CT). Subsequent cystoscopy did not reveal any abnormalities, and both urinalysis and urine cytology were unremarkable. However, a CT urogram reconfirmed suspicions of malignancy, which a cystoscopy validated. The patient underwent a transurethral resection of the bladder tumor, which was identified as a bladder chondroma. During the surgical incision, a submucosal lesion was found, which was further confirmed with histopathological evaluation. Over a year‐long follow‐up using imaging and urine cytology, no recurrence was observed. This case reinforces earlier findings and underscores the predilection for females between their 5th and 7th decades with a positive prognosis.
