Synovial chondrometaplasia of the hand: case report and review of the literature. 1984

G L Lucas, and P D Sponsellar

A case of synovial chondrometaplasia of the hand is described. Histologic differentiation from chondrosarcoma may be difficult. Recurrences are common, but no instance of malignant change is known. Nonetheless, adequate surgical excision of the lesion is recommended.

D002813 Chondrosarcoma A slowly growing malignant neoplasm derived from cartilage cells, occurring most frequently in pelvic bones or near the ends of long bones, in middle-aged and old people. Most chondrosarcomas arise de novo, but some may develop in a preexisting benign cartilaginous lesion or in patients with ENCHONDROMATOSIS. (Stedman, 25th ed) Chondrosarcomas

D013584 Sarcoma, Synovial A malignant neoplasm arising from tenosynovial tissue of the joints and in synovial cells of tendons and bursae. The legs are the most common site, but the tumor can occur in the abdominal wall and other trunk muscles. There are two recognized types: the monophasic (characterized by sheaths of monotonous spindle cells) and the biphasic (characterized by slit-like spaces or clefts within the tumor, lined by cuboidal or tall columnar epithelial cells). These sarcomas occur most commonly in the second and fourth decades of life.
