## Overview[edit | edit source]

There is no single diagnostic study of choice for the diagnosis of chondroma, but chondroma can be diagnosed based on x-ray, MRI, CT scan, bone scan and biopsy.[1][2][3]

## Diagnostic Study of Choice[edit | edit source]

### Study of choice[edit | edit source]

* There is no single diagnostic study of choice for the diagnosis of chondroma, but chondroma can be diagnosed based on x-ray, MRI, CT scan, bone scan and biopsy.

##### Diagnostic results[edit | edit source]

The following result of biopsy is confirmatory of chondroma:

* Hyaline cartilage with sparse chondrocytes
* No nuclear atypia or mitotic figures.

##### Sequence of Diagnostic Studies[edit | edit source]

* The various investigations for chondroma must be performed in the following order:
* X-ray
* CT scan
* MRI
* Bone scan
* Biopsy

### Diagnostic Criteria[edit | edit source]

* There are no established criteria for the diagnosis of chondroma.
