In this case report, it is aimed to present a 16-year-old female patient with a periosteal chondroma in the distal femur. Case Report: A 16-year-old female patient was admitted to the hospital with the history of pain in her distal part of right thigh. A superficial cortical erosion with well-defined borders without any relation to the intramedullary area was seen in magnetic resonance imaging. The lesion was regarded as periosteal chondroma and marginal excision was performed. Conclusion: This case report shows the importance of the differential diagnosis in cortical lesions. Periosteal chondroma may be considered when a patient has a history of long term pain in adolescent age group.
