What is the difference between chondroblastoma and enchondroma?

While both are types of non-cancerous tumors, the main difference between chondroblastomas and enchondromas is the location. You can find chondroblastomas on the long bones near the joint. Enchondromas form inside of the bone cartilage and are most commonly found in the hand. Enchondromas rarely cause pain and often remain undiagnosed unless an unrelated injury or condition requires an x-ray of the affected area.
