Abstract
Chondroblastoma is a rare, benign neoplasm usually located in the epiphyses and apophyses of the long bones in the immature skeleton. Radiologically, these tumors have a classic appearance of a lytic lesion with chondroid matrix surrounded by a thin sclerotic rim. Here, we describe the case of a 5-year-old male who presented with a chondroblastoma unusually located exclusively in the metaphyseal region, which led to an elusive diagnosis. The presence of tumors outlying the traditional location or epidemiological spectrum, along with the potential for histopathological misdiagnosis, can pose a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge for the treating team.
