Fulltext PDFChondroblastoma is a rare benign bone tumor that typically arises in the epiphysis of long bones in adolescents, making its occurrence in adults and at atypical locations both uncommon and diagnostically challenging. We report the case of a 41-year-old man with an eight-year history of episodic localized pain over the tibial tuberosity, precipitated by direct pressure and exposure to cold weather. The lesion was initially misinterpreted as a neuroma or a benign cystic lesion based on clinical assessment and imaging studies. Surgical excision with intralesional curettage was performed, and histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of chondroblastoma. This case highlights the importance of integrating clinical, radiological, and histopathological findings to establish an accurate diagnosis. Early recognition and timely surgical management are essential to prevent disease progression, reduce the risk of recurrence, and optimize patient outcomes.
