Physical examination shows a tumor at the inferior angle of right scapula. On FNAC given as giant cell tumour with differential diagnosis ABC/Chondroblastoma. Excised tumour on histopathological examination confirmed chondroblastoma with areas of ABC. The clinical, radiological and histopathogical findings are necessary for evaluation of chondroblastoma. Complete excision, curettage of the tumour with a regular follow-up for any local recurrence or metastasis is the key to successful management of such case.
