Chondrosarcoma of metacarpal -A case report

Chondrosarcoma ,a malignant bone tumour constitutes about 9 of primary bone malignancies.Proximal femur, proximal humerus, and pelvis are most common sites, rarely it can occur in hand.The treatment of chondrosarcoma varies with the severity of lesion.Extended curettage is considered adequate only for low-grade lesions that are confined within medullary canal.Those with soft tissue extensions should be treated similar to high grade lesions.The treatment of high grade chondrosarcoma is wide or radical resection or amputation.For resection, a wide operative margin is suggested, as it will reduce prevalence of local recurrence. We report a case of 65 years old male with chondrosarcoma of 2nd and 3rd metacarpal of right hand because of its rarity.
