Chondrosarcoma is the second most common primary malignant bone tumor, characterized by the production of a cartilaginous matrix. It typically affects the pelvis, proximal femur, and ribs, with a higher incidence in middle-aged and older adults. Imaging plays a crucial role in diagnosis, with radiographs, CT, and MRI aiding in differentiation from benign cartilaginous lesions. Histological grading is essential for prognosis, as higher-grade tumors exhibit more aggressive behavior and increased metastatic potential. Treatment is primarily surgical, as conventional chondrosarcoma is resistant to chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

Chondrosarcoma is the second most common primary malignant bone tumor, characterized by the production of a cartilaginous matrix. It typically affects the pelvis, proximal femur, and ribs, with a higher incidence in middle-aged and older adults. Imaging plays a crucial role in diagnosis, with radiographs, CT, and MRI aiding in differentiation from benign cartilaginous lesions. Histological grading is essential for prognosis, as higher-grade tumors exhibit more aggressive behavior and increased metastatic potential. Treatment is primarily surgical, as conventional chondrosarcoma is resistant to chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
