Shoulder pain due to enchondroma of the humerus

33034

Enchondromas, the second most common osseous neoplasms, are benign mature hyaline cartilaginous neoplasms that are usually solitary lesions in intramedullary bone. Enchondromas of the long bones are usually asymptomatic and often identified radiographically as an incidental finding. Pain is the most commonly encountered symptom. The most common clinical presentations are impingement syndrome and rotator cuff tears, respectively. The characteristic radiographic appearance is solitary lucent lesion in the diaphyseal part of short tubular bone or in the metaphyseal part of the long bones. We present a case of a 23 year old woman with humeral enchondroma in this case report.
