title: Periosteal chondrosarcoma invading the medullary cavity.
abstract: We present a case of periosteal chondrosarcoma of the femur, in which a tumor invaded the medullary cavity and the lesion was clearly demonstrated only on MRI. To the best of our knowledge, there have been no previous reports of an intramedullary lesion caused by periosteal chondrosarcoma demonstrated on MRI.
