CELL CLEARCHONDROSARCOMA OF DISTAL FEMUR A CASE REPORT

Abstract

Chondrosarcoma is the second common
primary bone malignancy. The clear cell
variant was recognized as a distinct entity
only in 1976. It is a rare variant with a
reported incidence of less than 2 percent
among all variants of chondrosarcoma. It
is a low grade malignant tumor with characteristic
clinical, imaging and pathological
features that are unique and different
from other chondrosarcoma variants. It
can often be erroneously confused with a
benign bone tumour and managed accordingly
with high rates of recurrence.
Here we report a case of clear cell chondrosarcoma
and discuss its unique and
characteristic features.
