Definition
Dyschondroplasia is a congenital disease characterized by abnormal proliferation of cartilage within the metaphysis and diaphysis of certain bones causing thinning of the cortex and distortion of the growth in length. In a minority of patients with this deformity, dysplasia can lead to sarcomatous degeneration leading to chondrosarcoma.
