“…Regarding treatment, traditional advice has favoured ray resection or digital amputation to prevent local recurrences of hand chondrosarcomas (Calundruccio and Jobe, 2002; Dahlin and Salvador, 1974; Gargan et al, 1984; Ogose et al, 1997; Palmieri, 1984; Roberts and Price, 1977). When this method of treatment was used, there were no recurrences in the present series.…”

A clinicopathological review of 23 patients (mean age, 67 years; range, 42-85 years) with chondrosarcoma of the bones of the hand was done. The mean follow up was 8.5 years. Eleven patients presented with a progressive painless swelling, 26% having had symptoms for over 10 years. The proximal phalanx was the commonest site. Initial clinical misdiagnosis as ganglion, bursa, gout, rheumatoid arthritis and a cyst occurred in five patients. Radiologically most lesions showed bone expansion, cortical destruction and soft-tissue extension. The majority was of high histologic grade (Evan's grade 2 & 3) with extensive myxoid areas. Five out of eight patients who were originally treated by curettage or excision had local recurrences compared to none treated by ray resection or amputation of phalanx (P=0.002). None had metastases. The low risk of metastases despite the high histologic grade indicates that chondrosarcomas of the hand behave differently from chondrosarcomas elsewhere.

“…We were able to find only two cases of multiple chondrosarcomas of the hand in the literature, both of which originated from enchondromas that underwent malignant conversion 15,16 . In our case, there was no evidence of prior enchondroma, Ollier's disease, or Maffucci syndrome.…”

“…In a 352 patient series, Douis et al found that less than 1.6% (3 cases) of all chondrosarcomas demonstrated multifocal distribution 14 . Furthermore, only two multifocal presentations of hand chondrosarcoma have been reported in the literature, both of which arose from preexisting enchondromas 15,16 . We present the case of a multifocal chondrosarcoma of the ulnar aspect of the left hand.…”

“…Le traitement est chirurgical et fait appel à l'amputation segmentaire, solution de choix, permettant d'éradiquer la maladie et d'éviter l'apparition de métastases surtout pulmonaires [4,8,9,13,25,26,28,30,[32][33][34][35][36]42].…”
