About Chondroma

A chondroma is a benign, slow-growing tumor composed of mature hyaline cartilage, most commonly found in the bones of the hands and feet. When managed by an oncologist, the procedure involves a comprehensive evaluation to confirm its benign nature and rule out malignancy (chondrosarcoma). Treatment typically centers on surgical removal (curettage) if the tumor is causing pain, risk of fracture, or functional impairment. The oncologist's role is crucial in ensuring accurate diagnosis through imaging and biopsy, planning the appropriate surgical margin, and providing long-term follow-up to monitor for any rare recurrence or transformation. This specialized care ensures optimal outcomes while preserving as much healthy bone and function as possible.

Key Highlights

    Effective removal of a benign bone tumor to alleviate pain and prevent complications.Specialized care from an oncologist ensures accurate diagnosis and differentiation from cancerous conditions.Minimally invasive surgical techniques (like curettage) are often possible, preserving surrounding healthy tissue.Procedure aims to restore normal bone structure and function, especially in the hands and feet.Low recurrence rate for typical chondromas when completely excised.

Who is this surgery for?

  • Persistent pain or tenderness at the tumor site.
  • Visible swelling or a palpable lump causing discomfort.
  • Risk of pathological fracture due to tumor weakening the bone.
  • Interference with joint function or mobility.
  • Rapid growth or imaging features that are atypical, requiring biopsy for definitive diagnosis.
  • Diagnostic confirmation when malignancy (chondrosarcoma) is a concern.

How to prepare

  • Comprehensive diagnostic imaging, typically X-rays and often an MRI or CT scan, to assess tumor size and location.
  • A biopsy may be performed to confirm the diagnosis as a benign chondroma.
  • Pre-operative blood tests and a general physical examination to ensure fitness for surgery.
  • Discussion with the oncologist and surgical team about the procedure, risks, and expected outcomes.
  • Instructions regarding fasting (usually 6-8 hours for solids) prior to the scheduled surgery.
  • Adjustment or temporary cessation of certain medications (e.g., blood thinners) as advised by the doctor.

Risks & possible complications

  • General surgical risks: infection, bleeding, or adverse reaction to anesthesia.
  • Damage to nearby nerves, blood vessels, or tendons.
  • Incomplete removal leading to local recurrence of the tumor.
  • Post-operative stiffness or reduced range of motion in the affected joint.
  • Weakening of the bone at the surgical site, potentially requiring bone grafting.
  • Rare transformation into a malignant chondrosarcoma, necessitating long-term monitoring.

Recovery & hospital stay

  • Initial rest and elevation of the limb to reduce swelling and pain.
  • Use of a splint, cast, or crutches as recommended to protect the bone during healing.
  • Pain management with prescribed medications.
  • Gradual reintroduction of movement and physical therapy to restore strength and flexibility.
  • Keeping the surgical wound clean and dry, watching for signs of infection.
  • Follow-up appointments for stitch removal and imaging (X-rays) to monitor bone healing.
  • Avoidance of strenuous activity or heavy lifting for the period specified by the oncologist.
  • checked Typical hospital stay: 1-3 days
  • checked Expected recovery time: 3-6 weeks for basic healing; 2-4 months for full bone strength and return to strenuous activity

PATIENT REVIEW

I'd been to a few doctors...

I'd been to a few doctors for this persistent stomach pain, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Jayaraman was different. He actually listened, asked a ton of questions I hadn't been asked before, and ordered some specific tests others hadn't. Turns out it was a tricky gallbladder issue, not just 'stress.' He explained it all with a diagram on his notepad. I felt heard for the first time.
