Chondroblastoma in distal femur

Chondroblastoma was first described in detail by codman in 1931 and so is occasionally referred to as codman’s tumor. Chondroblastoma is a rare primary benign bone tumor arising from immature cells of epiphyseal cartilage with preferential localization in the epiphysis or apophysis. Onset occurs before obliteration of the ephiphyseal line, from 10 to 20 years of age. Males predominate with a ratio of 3 to 2. Chondroblastomas are generally treated by curettage with or without bone grafts. In this report, our aim was to present a rare tumor chondroblastoma which was localized in the distal femoral epiphysis
