Chondrosarcoma of the foot

J Am Podiatr Med Assoc. 2000 Apr;90(4):203-7. doi: 10.7547/87507315-90-4-203.

Abstract

Chondrosarcomas have been seen clinically as aggressive tumors, with radiographic and histologic findings consistent with malignancy; however, they may have an insidious clinical course, with relatively benign radiographic and histopathologic findings. Rarely, a chondrosarcoma may present as a primary lesion of the foot. It is important to recognize these lesions as malignancies. The authors provide an overview of these neoplasms and describe a case of a low-grade chondrosarcoma in a 64-year-old woman.
