J Cancer Res Ther. 2015 Jul-Sep;11(3):669. doi: 10.4103/0973-1482.151938.

Abstract

Benign Chondroblastoma generally occur in the epiphysis of long bones and rarely arise in carpal bones. We report a young male with chondroblastoma of scaphoid treated with curettage, bone grafting and K-wire fixation. At the last follow-up, 4 years after surgery, the patient was asymptomatic without recurrence.
