Abstract

Clear cell chondrosarcoma is a rare histological subtype of chondrosarcoma, usually with a relatively non-aggressive clinical course. However, infrequently they may relapse and metastasize. We describe a case of a male patient, 53 years old, with rib cage metastases of a clear cell chondrosarcoma 11 years after the first surgical intervention, and review the literature.
