1. Cartilaginous tumors encountered in musculoskeletal practice can be classified by their hyaline and non-hyaline cartilage histology. 2. MR imaging features are related to the histology of each tumor 3. Correlation of the histologic features of cartilage lesions with their MR imaging appearance is valuable to the practicing radiologist   

1. Histologic classification of tumors of cartilaginous origin     a. Hyaline cartilage tumors (enchondroma, osteochondroma, chondrosarcoma)     b. Non-hyaline cartilage tumors (chondromyxoid fibroma, chondroblastoma) 2. Differences between hyaline and non-hyaline cartilage tumors: Prognosis and treatment 3. MR imaging techniques used for assessment of cartilage tumors: What to expect 4. Characteristic MR imaging features: Hyaline cartilage tumors versus non-hyaline cartilage tumors     a. Table of MR features with pathologic correlation
