Abstract：
Benign cartilaginous lesions called enchondromas usually appear in the long bones of the limbs. This case report, however, draws attention to an uncommon and unusual appearance of enchondroma near the medial end of clavicle. Because of the unusual location, the diagnostic process was very complex, which presented a challengefor the physicians. We provide the clinical, radiological and histological results that finally allowed for an accurate diagnosis. This example highlights the need of taking into account atypical location for benign lesions and highlights the necessity of a thorough diagnostic approach in unexpected clinical settings. Since the occurrence of clavicular enchondromas is a rare entity and can at times mislead the clinician, healthcare providers must be vigilant enough to guarantee a prompt and accurate diagnosis for timely intervention.
摘要：
称为软骨瘤的良性软骨病变通常出现在四肢的长骨中。这个病例报告,然而,提请注意锁骨内侧端附近的内生软骨瘤的罕见和不寻常的外观。因为不寻常的位置，诊断过程非常复杂，这给医生带来了挑战。我们提供临床，放射学和组织学结果，最终允许一个准确的诊断。这个例子强调了需要考虑良性病变的非典型位置，并强调了在意外的临床环境中彻底诊断方法的必要性。由于锁骨软骨瘤的发生是一种罕见的实体，有时会误导临床医生，医疗保健提供者必须足够警惕，以保证及时准确的诊断，以便及时干预。
