Based upon location, a chondroma can be described as an enchondroma or ecchondroma.

The benign tumors are called chondroma, the malignant ones chondrosarcoma.

An ecchondroma is a type of chondroma that is subperiosteal.

For example, a lipoma is a common benign tumor of fat cells (lipocytes), and a chondroma is a benign tumor of cartilage-forming cells (chondrocytes).

Carney JA: Gastric stromal sarcoma, pulmonary chondroma, and extra-adrenal paraganglioma (Carney Triad): natural history, adrenocortical component, and possible familial occurrence.

Carney triad describes the coexistence of several neoplasms, mainly in young women, including: gastric epithelioid leiomyosarcoma (these are now known to actually be malignant gastrointestinal stromal tumors), pulmonary chondroma, and extra-adrenal paraganglioma.
