Hand radiograph shows a pathologic fracture of the proximal phalanx of the right ring finger. The fracture is occurring through an enchondroma. Enchondromas are the most common bone tumor of the hand. They are benign lesions and, in the hand, appear lucent and expansile with a ground-glass or smudgy matrix. Enchondromas in other parts of the body have a different internal matrix with calcification in a “rings and arcs” pattern. #MSKMonday #MusculoskeletalMonday
