Abstract

Chondroblastoma is a rare benign bone tumor typically located in the epiphysis. We describe the first case of chondroblastoma arising in the diaphysis of a long bone. The patient was a 13-year-old girl who presented with pain over her right thigh. Radiographs showed a lytic lesion in the diaphysis of her right femur. A core biopsy and a subsequent surgical resection were performed.
