There are few papers in existence describing the histopathology of Kashin-Beck disease. The few existing papers mention chondronecrosis within the epiphyseal primodium and metaphyseal cartilage. In the present study, two series of samples were available for histology: supernumerary fingers removed from young subjects and intra-articular bodies collected in more advanced cases of the disease. The prevailing characteristic of the samples is the absence of vascularisation within the proximal cartilage end plate of the phalanx associated with an alteration of the epiphyseal bone formation. These observations suggest that Kashin-Beck disease could develop from an alteration of the angiogenesis of the metaphyseal cartilage resulting in degeneration with consequent joint dysplasia, which may be associated with a decrease in growth of the diaphyseal bones.
