Chondrosarcoma in fibrous dysplasia of the pelvis. A case report and review of the literature.
Malignant transformation of fibrous dysplasia to chondrosarcoma is rare. We report a case in which malignancy developed in an area of fibrous dysplasia in the ilium. We believe this to be the second reported case at this site. Treatment was by excision of the hemipelvis including the ala of the sacrum. A review of the literature is presented.
