Abstract

Background: Chondroblastoma is a rare benign cartilaginous neoplasm that considered for approximately 1% of all bone tumors and characteristically emerges in the epiphysis of a long bone, especially the hummeros, femurand tibia.Only rare cases have been reported in the diaphyseal region. Case Report: We report a case of diaphyseal one in a 13 years old girl that admitted ith brief pain and deformities in left leg. Radiographic examinations disclosed a multiloculated osteolytic lesion in left tibia. Conclusion: Histologicak findings revealed proliferation of polygonal cells in the cartigenous background with few Giant cells.
