SUNDARAVADIVEL SUBRAMANIAN

Abstract


Abstract : Extra skeletal chondrosarcoma
is rare tumour of occurrence than
the chondrosarcoma ofthe bone. Extra
skeletal chondrosarcoma has certain
unique features different from the skeletalchondrosarcoma.
Extra skeletal chondrosarcoma
occurs in middle aged men,
Whereas skeletalchondrosarcoma has
peak incidence in 5th to 7th decades of
life3. Extra skeletal chondrosarcomahas
site predilection, mainly in the extremities
rather than primary chondrosarcoma
which mostcommonly occurs in the axial
skeleton1. Extra skeletal chondrosarcoma
is slow growing tumour,usually
manifests as painless swelling contrary
to primary skeletal chondrosarcoma
which is a fastgrowing tumour presenting
mainly with pain. Survival rate of Extra
skeletal chondrosarcoma is 70
at10years, better than conventional
which has 53 at 10years2. Extra skeletal
chondrosarcoma has got2 variants of tumours
which having different natural
history1.Myxoid type2.Mesenchymal type-
Wepresent this case for its rarity and good
prognosis after surgery if detected early.
