Cutaneous metastases from chondrosarcoma

This report describes a patient with histologically confirmed multiple cutaneous metastases from a skeletal chondrosarcoma and reviews the two previously published cases of this very unusual pattern of metastasis. We conclude that metastatic chondrosarcoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of multiple cartilaginous tumors of the skin, and that radiotherapy may play a role in the management of metastatic chondrosarcoma.
