The article explains that periosteal chondromas are benign, cartilaginous tumors that typically occur at the metaphysis of long tubular bones. They are slow-growing and occasionally associated with pain, with or without trauma to the area. Treatment consists of wide surgical resection with curettage.

Pick up a copy of their interesting article at the reference desk of the Denver Medical Library.
