Benign and low-grade cartilaginous tumors: an update on differential diagnosis

Cartilaginous neoplasms hold considerable share in the routine diagnostics of bone tumor pathology. Benign cartilage forming tumors, that are in general more frequent than their malignant counterparts, may often pose diagnostic challenges. Distinction of a benign cartilaginous lesion from a low-grade malignant tumor can render difficulties especially in a small biopsy material. Considering the divergent therapeutic and prognostic implications, a careful assessment of histologic, radiologic and clinical findings/features is very important, and an experienced multidisciplinary team is indispensable to achieve an accurate diagnosis.
