NURSING ANM AND GNM

Detailed explanation-1: -A rare, slow-growing tumor that is made up of cartilage and forms on or in bones or soft tissue. It is not cancer. The tumor usually occurs in the hands or feet, but it may also occur in the upper arm, thigh, collarbone, ribs, pelvis, spine, skull, and nasal sinuses.

Detailed explanation-2: -Chondromas are benign (not cancerous) tumors made of cartilage that are found mostly in the small bones of the hand and feet. They can also occur in the humerus (upper arm), femur (thigh bone), and ribs. These tumors rarely produce symptoms but can cause the affected bone to easily fracture.

Detailed explanation-3: -An enchondroma is a type of benign bone tumor that originates from cartilage. It is not cancerous. It most often affects the cartilage that lines the inside of the bones. Enchondromas are the most common type of hand tumor. The exact cause of enchondroma is not known.

Detailed explanation-4: -Chondromas are very rare, benign tumors made of cartilage. They usually grow slowly and develop in the sinuses and the bones of the skull. They can also show up in the small bones of the hands, feet, upper arms, thighs and ribs. If they form in the marrow cavity of bones, they are called enchondromas.

Detailed explanation-5: -Chondromas develop from nests of growth-plate cartilage that have become entrapped in the medullary canal of the metaphysis or in the metaphyseal-diaphyseal junction. These hamartomatous proliferations persist as islands in the bone and then develop from enchondral ossification.
