Patient's question:
A few days ago, the doctor noticed that my son's toe is slightly crooked, and it feels a bit deformed. Then, it has started to swell gradually. He says it causes aching pain. Some people say it might be a chondroma, which should be benign. I want to ask if benign chondromas require surgery?Doctor's answer:
The condition of the child may not necessarily be a symptom of chondromyxoma. The recurrence of this symptom could be caused by bone damage or joint inflammation. It is necessary to visit the orthopedics department of the hospital for examination. Cooperate with the doctor to take some blood-activating or anti-inflammatory medications. If it is confirmed to be chondromyxoma, cooperate with the doctor for surgical treatment. The postoperative effect is very good, and there has been no recurrence.
