Abstract
- Clear cell chondrosarcoma (CCC) is an uncommon variant constituting less than 2% of all chondrosarcomas. CCC arises most commonly in the proximal end of the femur, followed by the humerus, and other small bones. CCC involving the tarsal bone is very rare, and to the best of our knowledge, only one case has been described involving the calcaneum in the English literature to date. In this article, we discuss a case of CCC involving the right calcaneum with complete clinico-immuno-histomorphological features, which is successfully managed by below-knee amputation. We also reviewed the reported cases of chondrosarcomas involving the calcaneum with special reference to clinical features, therapy, morphology, and follow-up data.<br />Competing Interests: None
