Chondrosarcoma of Iliac Bone Imaging Spectrum With Histopathological Correlation: A Case Report

Chondrosarcoma is a rare form of carcinoma that originates in the cells of cartilage, the flexible tissue that cushions the joints and gives structure to various parts of the body. This malignant tumour primarily affects adults and is most commonly found in the bones of the arms, legs, pelvis, and ribs. The severity and prognosis of chondrosarcoma can vary widely depending on factors such as tumour size, location, and grade. We are reporting a case of an 83-year-old male patient who presented with swelling over the left hip joint. A mass was detected on radiograph and ultrasound that was further characterized using contrast-enhanced CT and MRI. Imaging findings suggested chondrosarcoma. The patient was diagnosed on histopathological examination.
