Chondrosarcoma is the commonest primary sarcoma of bone in adults, with a male predominance. Patients are usuallybetween 30 and 70 years old. Clinical symptoms are pain and tenderness with or without a mass, the average durationof symptoms being 12 years, but growth may be very slow, especially for pelvic tumours. Chondrosarcomas characteristically produce coalescent cartilage lobules of various size. The center often becomes necrotic or cystic.
