Tumor cells (chondrocytes, cartilaginous cells) resemble normal cells and produce the cartilaginous matrix (amorphous, basophilic material). ==Presentation== Characteristic features of this tumor include the vascular axes within the tumor, which make the distinction with normal hyaline cartilage.{{cn|date=October 2020}}
==Diagnosis== ===Classification=== Based upon location, a chondroma can be described as an enchondroma or ecchondroma.{{cn|date=October 2020}} * enchondroma - tumor grows within the bone and expands it * ecchondroma - grows outward from the bone (rare)
