Abstract
Soft tissue chondroma is a relatively rare, slowly growing, benign cartilaginous tumor. This solitary mass can imitate chondrosarcomas in radiologic and histological characteristics. The diagnosis is hard to establish on clinical presentation and relies on careful radiological examination. The lesion is equally prevalent in both genders and primarily affects people in their forties and sixties. They may occur in any part of the body; however, they are most commonly observed in hand and foot. We report the case of a 61-year-old female who presented with heavily ossified soft tissue chondroma within the plantar fascia of her left foot. A conclusive diagnosis was established via histopathological examination. The chondroma was marginally excised, and the postoperative period was uneventful.
