Case:
Multifocal synchronous primary skeletal chondrosarcomas of an extremity are rarely reported. In this study, we report 2 such cases. The first case is a 32-year-old woman who presented with extensive right femoral and tibial diaphysis lesions. The second case is a 36-year-old woman with lesions in the left proximal humerus, the coracoid process of scapula and sternum. Both patients underwent limb salvage surgery and were disease-free at the 38- and 20-month follow-up.
Conclusion:
Athough rare, the possibility of multifocal chondrosarcoma should be kept in mind during the workup of a patient with chondrosarcoma.

Disorders of the Skeletal Muscle
Musculoskeletal disorders
Musculoskeletal disorders involve injuries and conditions affecting the skeletal muscles and associated connective tissues. These disorders can arise from acute biomechanical stresses or chronic overuse and can occur across different age groups. Common injuries include sprains, fractures, and muscular strains, often resulting from...
Bone Disorders
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...
