Bone stalk containing cartilaginous cap that blends into overlying fibrous connective tissue
Chondrocytes set within abundant hyaline cartilage matrix; eosinophilic cytoplasm; round-ovoid nuclei with small nucleoli, occasional binucleation, mild pleomorphism, and inconspicuous mitotic activity
Fibroblasts are spindle-stellate and set within abundant collagenous stroma; eosinophilic cytoplasm with delicate tapering processes; monomorphic ovoid nuclei with inconspicuous mitotic activity
