CELL CLEARCHONDROSARCOMA OF DISTAL FEMUR A CASE REPORT

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.
