Abstract:
Chondrosarcomas have been seen clinically as aggressive tumors, with radiographic and histologic findings consistent with malignancy; however, they may have an insidious clinical course, with relatively benign radiographic and histopathologic findings. Rarely, a chondrosarcoma may present as a primary lesion of the foot. It is important to recognize these lesions as malignancies. The authors provide an overview of these neoplasms and describe a case of a low-grade chondrosarcoma in a 64-year-old woman.
