Cartilaginous lesions of bone.
Cartilaginous lesions of the skeleton are very unusual. It is extremely important to correlate the roentgenographic features, the clinical features, and the histological features to arrive at a definite diagnosis. Most cartilaginous lesions are benign or of low-grade malignancy. However, there are some subtypes of chondrosarcoma that behave in a highly aggressive fashion.
