Abstract
The radiographic features of 22 cases of histologically proven periosteal chondroma are analized in detail. The typical tumor consisted in an area of outer cortex remodeling (scalloping) involving the metaphyseal lesion of a long bone with slightly overhanging edges and a small amount of cartilage calcified matrix adjacent to the scalloping. The presence of a visible soft tissue mass was uncommon, present in only one third of the cases.
The radiographic differential diagnosis is analized in detail and illustrated.
