Abstract
Enchondromas are intramedullary cartilage neoplasms with benign imaging features that constitute approx. 90% of benign tumours in the hands.
We present a 25-year-old previously fit and well female patient with Enchondroma of the metacarpal bone with characteristic imaging and pathologic fracture to increase its awareness for early diagnosis and treatment.
