Fig. 2. Flow of abnormal masses of prehypertrophic cartilage, sometimes occupying the entire metaphysis. There is no adequate blood supply, only single blood vessels penetrating from the metaphysis among the abnormal cartilage. H/E, Bar = 35 µm.
Fig. 3. Subperiosteal dysplasia (d) of prehypertrophic cartilage in the proximal tibia region, resulting in bone deformation. H/E, Bar = 100 µm.
