Abstract :
Enchondroma protuberans is a very rare benign cartilage tumor. Unlike intramedullary enchondromas; they originate from medulla and expands exophytically outside the cortex. We presenet a 19-yearold male patient with an enchondroma protuberans treated surgically, with excision and intramedullary curettage. The patient was asymptomatic and no recurrence was recorded in the 1 year follow-up.
