We thoroughly enjoyed reading the article, "Chondroblastoma
of Bone" (82-A: 1140-5, Aug. 2000), by Ramappa et al. Coincidentally,
we have reviewed our own experience with this subject and have found
that nine (13%) of our sixty-nine patients had a local
recurrence, a figure nearly identical to that from the Boston study.
We were unable to identify any risk factors for local recurrence, although
two of eight patients with proximal femoral lesions had a local
recurrence. The only other frequent sites of recurrence were the
proximal part of the humerus (two of sixteen) and the proximal part
of the tibia (two of thirteen).
