What is an enchondroma?

An enchondroma is a benign (not cancerous) tumor in the cartilage inside of your bones. An enchondroma generally doesn’t cause any pain or other symptoms. Most of the time, you wouldn’t even know it was there. Enchondromas are usually found incidentally when you’re getting X-rays for an unrelated condition or injury. Enchondromas can occur at any age but typically develop between the ages of 10 and 40.
