Introduction:
Conventional chondrosarcoma is the second most common primary malignant bone tumor and usually occurs at older adult ages. It is rare in childhood and adolescence.
Case History:
This case report presents the treatment course of a 13-year-old boy with a symptomatic chondrogenic tumor of the right distal femur. Histopathologically, an epiphyseal intermediate-grade chondrosarcoma (G2) was diagnosed.
Discussion:
Based on the following case, potential radiological and histopathological differential diagnoses, such as chondroblastoma or chondroblastic osteosarcoma, are discussed against the background of current standards in orthopedic oncology.

Initially, the limb buds consist of a core of mesenchyme covered by a layer of ectoderm. The ectoderm at the end of the limb bud thickens to form a narrow crest called the apical ectodermal ridge. This ridge stimulates the underlying...

The mesenchymal stem cells differentiate into chondrocytes that form the hyaline cartilage, and later the cartilaginous model of the bone. This model further transforms into a bone. This process is known as endochondral ossification.
During development, the limbs...
