What is another word for chondroma?
Pronunciation: [kəndɹˈə͡ʊmə] (IPA) 
Chondroma is a medical term used to describe a benign tumor that originates from the cartilage. It is a relatively rare condition, and its synonyms include enchondroma, osteochondroma, and cartilaginous exostosis. Enchondroma is the most common type of chondroma, while osteochondroma is a type that usually affects the bones near the growth plates. Cartilaginous exostosis, on the other hand, is a type of chondroma that typically affects the long bones of the body. In general, chondromas are slow-growing tumors that usually cause no symptoms. However, they can cause pain, swelling, and stiffness if they occur in areas near joints or nerves.
