Tumors of the medial malleolus are rare. Chondrogenic tumors of the medial malleolus are extremely rare. Chondroblastoma of the medial malleolus has not been reported previously in the English literature. The purpose is to present a rare tumor occurring at an unusual site and its successful management.
We report a case of a 30 years old female with chondroblastoma of the medial malleolus with its clinical features, radiographic features, differential diagnosis, and management at an unusual site. Treatment comprised of an open biopsy followed by aggressive curettage, phenolization and bone cement. Symptoms resolved after treatment with resumption of normal activities and no signs of recurrence at 1 year follow-up.
This case appears to be the first reported case of chondroblastoma occurring at medial malleolus. The present case report will increase the awareness of this rare tumor occurring at this unusual site thereby avoiding any chance of misdiagnosis.
内踝肿瘤较为罕见。内踝的软骨源性肿瘤极为罕见。英文文献中此前尚未报道过内踝的软骨母细胞瘤。本文目的是介绍一种发生于不寻常部位的罕见肿瘤及其成功的治疗方法。
我们报告一例30岁女性内踝软骨母细胞瘤患者，介绍其临床特征、影像学特征、鉴别诊断以及在不寻常部位的治疗情况。治疗包括开放活检，随后进行积极的刮除、苯酚处理和骨水泥填充。治疗后症状缓解，患者恢复正常活动，随访1年无复发迹象。
该病例似乎是首例报道的发生于内踝的软骨母细胞瘤。本病例报告将提高对这种发生于不寻常部位的罕见肿瘤的认识，从而避免误诊的可能性。
