Curr Probl Diagn Radiol. 2019 May-Jun;48(3):262-273. doi: 10.1067/j.cpradiol.2018.04.002. Epub 2018 Apr 6.

Abstract

Enchondromas are among the most common benign tumors seen in the skeleton. They are encountered frequently in routine clinical practice. The purpose of this review is to help radiologists confidently diagnose enchondroma and distinguish it from other entities, such as bone infarct, bone graft, and low-grade chondrosarcoma.
