Abstract:
We present the case of a 43-year-old patient with a radionegative tumor of the distal third of the femur. Work-up following a knee injury without any abnormalities on x-ray was extended to include an MRI study, which revealed an osteolytic lesion in the distal third of the femur. Extended work-up including an open biopsy identified a low-grade chondrosarcoma. Considering the patient's clinical status and the diagnostic findings, tumour resection and placement of a resection knee endoprosthesis appeared to be the best solution. The clinical outcome was good.
