Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Chondroblastoma was first described as calcified giant cell tumour by Ewing. Codman described it as epiphyseal chondromatous giant cell tumour. Jaffe and Lichtenstein named it as chondroblastoma, a rare benign cartilaginous tumour. It represents less than 1% of all primary bone tumours and most commonly originate from the epiphyses of long bones, particularly from the epiphyses of the proximal and distal parts of the femur, the proximal part of the humerus, and the proximal part of the tibia. Other reported sites are talus, scapula , patella, pelvis, distal radius, distal tibia , ribs, proximal fibula, calcaneum. Its occurrence in distal tibia is very rare with 2 documented cases in UK from 1974 to 2000, 3 documented cases in FRANCE from 1950 to 2005 , no documented case from 1977 to 2000 in Harvard, USA. The purpose is to present a rare tumour occurring at an unusual site.
