Radiologic follow‐up of untreated enchondroma and atypical cartilaginous tumors in the long bones

Both enchondroma and atypical cartilaginous tumors (ACT) are not considered malignant, so inactive and asymptomatic tumors might not need surgery. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study that has been done to evaluate the natural course of conservative‐treated enchondroma and ACT in the long bones.
