What is an enchondroma?
An enchondroma is a type of benign (non-cancerous) bone tumor that originates from cartilage.
Enchondromatosis: A condition characterized by multiple enchondromas -- benign masses of cartilage growing within bones. The enchondromas can deform and shorten a limb and predispose to a fracture.

Increasing age, being of the male sex and the presence of a pre-existing enchondroma (benign tumours of hyaline cartilage occurring within the medullary cavity) - although only 10% of chondrosarcomas arise in these pre-existing lesions.
this gene change develop many benign (non cancerous) tumours in the soft tissues of the body. They also have abnormally shaped bones and blood vessels. The tumours start in the lining of the blood vessels (haemangiomas) or cartilage (enchondromas).
