|---|---|
| Diagnosis in short |
Chondroblastoma is a benign chondro-osseous tumour that afflicts the young (growth plates open).
General
- Growth plate lesion.
- Sclerotic margin.
- "Young" = growth plates open.
- Typically painful.[1]
Gross
- Well-defined lesion.
Image
Microscopic
Features:[2]
- Abundant extracellular material - pink on H&E stain - looks vaguely like cartilage.
- Chondroblasts:
- Nuclear morphology variable: ovoid, folded or grooved.
- Moderate-abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm.
- +/-Calcification surrounds the cell nests ("chickenwire" appearance) - classic feature.
- Cell nests have a thin pale blue rimming.
- +/-Giant cells.
- May lead to confusion with giant cell tumour of bone.
DDx:
- Giant cell tumour of bone.
- Chondroma.
- Well-differentiated chondrosarcoma.
