Abstrakt:	Solitary enchondromas are usually seen in the tubular bones of the hands and feet. Their occurrence in the radius is extremely rare. Here, we report a male patient in his 30s with a history of pain in the right forearm for the past 7 months and swelling for the past 4 months. He was radiologically diagnosed with enchondroma of the radial shaft. He underwent an open biopsy and curettage of the lesion. The histopathological evaluation further confirmed the diagnosis. Following the surgical management, he was symptomatically better on follow-up visits. Enchondromas of the radius are rare in occurrence. A high index of suspicion and clinical evaluation is necessary to diagnose and manage such lesions. Competing Interests: Competing interests: None declared. (© BMJ Publishing Group Limited 2024.
