Article Abstract
DICER1 tumor predisposition syndrome is a pleiotropic disorder that gives rise to various mainly pediatric-onset lesions. We report an extraskeletal chondroma (EC) of the great toe occurring in a child who, unusually, carries a germline "hotspot" missense DICER1 variant rather than the more usual loss-of-function (LOF) variant. No heterozygous LOF allele was identified in the EC. We demonstrate this variant impairs 5p cleavage of precursor-miRNA (pre-miRNA) and competes with wild-type (WT) DICER1 protein for pre-miRNA processing. These results suggest a mechanism through which a germline RNase IIIb variant could impair pre-miRNA processing without complete LOF of the WT DICER1 allele.

Introduction: Extra skeletal chondromas are a subtype of chondroma that constitutes approximately 1.5% of soft tissue tumors; they do not affect the periosteum, cortex, or synovial tissue. They are frequently found in hands and are generally smaller than 3 cm in diameter; few cases are reported larger than 10 cm in diameter.

The term chondroma refers to a slow-growing benign tumor. When the tumor arises from the medullary cavity, it is referred to as enchondroma, which is a very common bone tumor. However, if it arises from soft tissues, which is extremely rare, it is referred to as soft tissue chondroma or extraskeletal chondroma.

Article Synopsis
- DICER1 tumor predisposition syndrome can cause different types of tumors, especially in kids.
- A child had a rare tumor called an extraskeletal chondroma in their toe and had a specific type of DICER1 gene change, different from what is usually found.
- This gene change messes up the process of making molecules that help control genes, showing that there are other ways the DICER1 gene can cause problems without completely stopping it from working.

Article Synopsis
- - Extraskeletal chondromas (EC) are rare, benign tumors mainly found in the upper and lower extremities, with only four previous pediatric cases reported in the neck's anterior compartment, and this text discusses the first case in the posterior compartment.
- - Diagnosis of EC can be challenging as they may be mistaken for malignant tumors on imaging, highlighting the need for thorough diagnostic procedures prior to surgery.
- - The treatment primarily involves surgical excision, which shows promising results, as demonstrated by symptom improvement and no recurrence in the presented case after six months of follow-up.
