Chondrosarcoma of the right iliopubic branch incidentally discovered: About a case

Abstract

Chondrosarcoma is the most common primary malignant bone tumor after myeloma and osteosarcoma, ranking third. It may be in second place in terms of frequency after osteosarcoma if we consider myeloma as a tumor of bone marrow cells rather than a bone tumor because it is a hematopoietic derivation [1].

Grade III chondrosarcoma of the left iliopubic branch: A case report

“…Chondrosarcoma of the pelvis poses a severe challenge in terms of treatment for its resistance to both radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Consequently, the primary mode of management predominantly involves surgical intervention [ 3 ]. However, the intricate anatomical nature of the pelvis presents formidable obstacles, as it lacks significant anatomical barriers to constrain tumor expansion.…”

“…Chondrosarcomas encompasses neoplasms derived from mesenchymal lineage cells and are characterized by the production of a cartilaginous matrix that may arise de novo or develop as a sequel to pre-existing benign cartilaginous neoplasms [ 1 , 2 ]. While its prevalence is eclipsed by myeloma and osteosarcoma, it ranks as the third most common primary malignant bone tumor [ [2] , [3] , [4] ]. Its incidence is notably variable, with European rates approximating 1–4 cases per 100,000 individuals [ 3 ].…”

“…Its incidence is notably variable, with European rates approximating 1–4 cases per 100,000 individuals [ 3 ]. The male gender exhibits a predilection, with a reported sex ratio of 2:1 [ 3 , 4 ]. Chondrosarcoma predominantly afflicts the adult and elderly population, with a typical onset occurring between the ages of 40 and 70 years [ 5 , 6 ].…”

“…The anatomical proclivity of chondrosarcomas within the skeletal framework exhibits variation but primarily centers on the pelvis (constituting 24–38 % of cases), followed by the proximal femur (16–27 %), ribs (8 %), proximal humerus (9 %), and distal femur (6 %) [ 3 , 6 , 7 ]. Infrequent occurrences involve the spinal region and the extremities, with the latter often manifesting as a component of conditions like enchondromatosis.…”
