Abstract EN
Introduction.
Although fractures of humeral shaft show excellent results with conservative management, nonunion does occur.
Case Report.
We bring forth the case of a young male with a 1.5-year-old hypertrophic nonunion of the humerus mimicking an enchondroma.
The initial X-ray images of the patient appeared to be an enchondroma, which only on further evaluation and histopathological analysis was diagnosed conclusively to be a hypertrophic nonunion.
Discussion.
Enchondromas are often incidentally diagnosed benign tumours.
It is however not common to misdiagnose a hypertrophic nonunion to be an enchondroma.
We present this case to highlight the unique diagnostic dilemma the treating team had to face.
