Conventional intramedullary chondrosarcoma with subarticular involvement.
A 78-year-old female patient with a lesion in the distal tibia is shown to have conventional intramedullary chondrosarcoma. Typical considerations for this end-of-bone neoplastic lesion are giant cell tumor, clear cell chondrosarcoma, and chondroblastoma. Salient clinical and radiographic features and behavior of this lesion broaden the typical view of conventional intramedullary chondrosarcoma.
