A '''chondroma''' is a benign cartilaginous [tumor](/source/tumor),<ref name="m144">{{cite journal | last1=Kakamad | first1=Fahmi H. | last2=Salih | first2=Abdulwahid M. | last3=hassan | first3=Marwan N. | last4=Mohammed | first4=Shvan H. | last5=Abdullah | first5=Ari M. | title=A rare presentation of soft tissue chondroma: A case report | journal=International Journal of Surgery Case Reports | publisher=Elsevier BV | volume=72 | year=2020 | issn=2210-2612 | doi=10.1016/j.ijscr.2020.06.045 | pages=426–428| pmc=7306534 }}</ref> which is encapsulated with a lobular growing pattern.

Tumor cells ([chondrocytes](/source/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](/source/hyaline_cartilage).{{cn|date=October 2020}}

==Diagnosis==
===Classification===
Based upon location, a chondroma can be described as an [enchondroma](/source/enchondroma) or [ecchondroma](/source/ecchondroma).{{cn|date=October 2020}}
* enchondroma - tumor grows within the bone and expands it
* ecchondroma - grows outward from the bone (rare)
