- Abstract
Introduction: Conventional chondrosarcoma is the second most common primary malignant bone tumor and usually occurs at older adult ages. It is rare in childhood and adolescence., Case History: This case report presents the treatment course of a 13-year-old boy with a symptomatic chondrogenic tumor of the right distal femur. Histopathologically, an epiphyseal intermediate-grade chondrosarcoma (G2) was diagnosed., Discussion: Based on the following case, potential radiological and histopathological differential diagnoses, such as chondroblastoma or chondroblastic osteosarcoma, are discussed against the background of current standards in orthopedic oncology., (© 2021.
