Abstract

Enchondromas are benign bone tumors arising from cartilage cells, commonly affecting the hands and feet. While often asymptomatic, they can present with pain, swelling, or pathologic fractures, posing diagnostic and management challenges. This article provides a comprehensive overview of the clinical insights into enchondroma, including its diagnosis, management, and prognosis. Diagnostic modalities such as radiographs and MRI play a crucial role in confirming the diagnosis, while management approaches range from observation to surgical intervention, depending on various factors. Prognosis is generally favorable, although vigilance is required for early detection of malignant transformation into chondrosarcoma. Understanding these clinical aspects is vital for clinicians to optimize patient care and outcomes.
