Chondrosarcoma of acetabulum - A case report

Year: 2020

Type: article

Abstract: Chondrosarcomas are the third most common primary malignant tumor of bone having cartilaginous differentiation with varying degrees of malignancy. These are common in older adults with slight male predom-inance, with common sites being pelvis along with femur and humerus. Chondrosarcoma is resistant to both chemotherapy and radiation, making wide local excision the only treatment. Local recurrence is frequently seen after intralesional excision, thus wide local excision is sometimes employed despite significant morbidity, even in low-grade lesions. Chondrosarcoma of acetabulum is a rare presentation and the aim of this case report is to present a case that is extremely rare in location and behavior but in accordance with the literature. Keywords : chondrosarcoma, bone curettage, lytic lesion
