Objective:
To discuss the clinical radiographic findings in a 70-yr-old woman suffering from chondrosarcoma.
Clinical Features:
The patient experienced right SI pain present initially only at night. She later developed morning numbness. An X-ray examination revealed a flocculent calcification in the right buttock region. Computed tomographic scans confirmed the diagnosis.
Intervention And Outcome:
Initial palliative care continued until surgery was performed to resect the area.
Conclusion:
Chondrosarcoma is a severe disease that must be differentiated from myositis ossificans.

Growth of Cartilage and Bone Tissue
Development of the Limb Synovial Joints
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...
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...
