Abstract:
Enchondromas are benign lesions of hyaline cartilage usually in small bones of hand and foot. Curettage with bone grafting is the treatment of choice. We present a case of enchondroma of 5th metacarpal head treated with curettage and bone graft substitute. Clinical, radiological and histopathological findings in this case are presented with a brief discussion of literature.
