-To describe and illustrate the multimodality imaging findings of cartilaginous bone tumors and tumor-like lesions. - To review imaging features of these lesions that may suggest their benign or malignant etiology.  

Cartilaginous bone tumors are a relatively common lesions encountered in daily clinical practice. In this essay the authors include a wide range of benign and malignant entities focusing on distinctive imaging features (Osteochondroma, Enchondroma, Chondroblastoma, Chondromyxoid fibroma, Synovial chondromatosis and Chondrosarcoma). Plain film characteristic associated with demographic and clinical information may sometimes be enough to identify a given cartilaginous bone tumor. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance complement the characterization of these lesions, mostly in the attempt to clarify the possibility of malignant transformation.
