Periosteal chondroma of the cuboid with secondary aneurysmal bone cyst in a setting of secondary hyperparathyroidism.

ABSTRACT

We report the case of a 35-year-old woman with painful, nontender mass at the right lateral hindfoot. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) indicated the suspect of a chondroid tumour in the cuboid. The tumour was resected en bloc and histology revealed the presence of a periosteal (juxtacortical) chondroma with secondary aneurysmal bone cyst. Secondary hyperparathyroidism was detected in laboratory tests and put into context with the histopathologic findings. In conclusion, a rare case of periosteal chondroma of the cuboid with secondary aneurysmal bone cyst in a setting of secondary hyperparathyroidism due to vitamin D deficiency is presented. LEVEL OF CLINICAL EVIDENCE 4.
