title: Childhood chondrosarcoma: MR imaging with gadolinium-DTPA.
abstract: The radiologic, CT, MR, and histological features of a case of chondrosarcoma of the femur presenting in childhood are reported. This case emphasizes the use of correlative imaging in establishing the diagnosis as well as the value of MR supplemented by Gadolinium-DTPA enhancement in disclosing abundant necrosis within the tumor.
