A Destructive Tumor of the Proximal Tibia and Fibula: A Case Report Highlighting Challenging Diagnosis and Treatment of a Locally Advanced Non-recurrent Chondroblastoma in 16 Years Old Patient

摘要

Chondroblastoma is a rare, cartilaginous primary bone tumor, which presents predominantly in children and young adults. These tumors represent 1% of all primary bone tumors. Patients tend to complain of progressive joint pain which usually aids in early diagnosis. However, early diagnosis has made the understanding of the untreated, progressive course of chondroblastoma quite difficult. This case report highlights a patient who was first encountered with locally advanced chondroblastoma and discusses the challenges of diagnosis and treatment with a focus on the natural progression of this disease.
