Periosteal chondroma of the humerus leading to shortening. A case report

We report a case of periosteal chondroma of the proximal humerus with multiple cartilaginous masses extending around two-thirds of the metaphysial circumference. The humerus was short, presumably because the tumour interfered with growth at the epiphysial plate.
