CHONDROSARCOMA

ABHIJEET CVSS
CHONDROSARCOMA

 Malignant counterpart of Enchondroma.


 Second most common Primary bone malignancy.
 Age- 30-70 years
 M/F ratio- 5:4
 Commonly affecting Pelvis.
 Others- Ribs, Neck of femur, Distal femur
CHONDROSARCOMA

Benign(ENCHODROMA) Malignant (Chondrosarcoma)


Hypocellular Cellular
Composed of hyaline hylaine
Mineralised, matrix Myxoid matrix
Permeative growth pattern Permeative growth pattern
NO nuclear atypia Nuclear atypia
NO mitosis Mitosis
SYMPTOMS

 Patients usually present with pain

 pathological fracture,

 a palpable lump or local mass


CLASSIFICATION

 GRADE 1(Atypical cartilaginous tumor)- [Thorough Currettage]


Nuclei small, high cromatin density, high cartilage content matrix

 GRADE 2-[Complete resection]


Nuclei medium sized, loose chromatin structure

 GRADE 3-[Complete resection and Reconstruction]


Polymorphic nuclei, Binucleas forms, mucomyxoid matrix
RADIOGRAPHY

 CT- for matrix calcifications and permeative destruction of tumor

 MRI- for tumor extent and active parts of tumor showing further
differentiation
- Differentiate High grade from low grade tumors- essential
before surgery
RADIOGRAPHY

X-RAY
 Large, Intraosseous, Osteolytic

 Honeycomb/Popcorn-Irregular granular calcifications within matrix

 Endosteal scalloping of cortex with cortical destruction later.

 Faint periosteal reaction


TYPES

 CONVENTIONAL CHONDROSARCOMA- CENTRAL/PERIPHERAL

 JUXTACORTICAL CHONDROSARCOMA

 CLEAR-CELL CHONDROSARCOMA

 MESENCHYMAL CHONDROSARCOMA
CENTRAL CHONDROSARCOMA

 Develops in the medullary cavity of tubular/flat bones.

 Commonly- proximal end of femur/ innominate bone of pelvis

X-RAY
 -expanded, radiolucent area, flecks of increased density
within the tumour

 Aggressive lesions- Globular appearance with destruction of cortex


PERIPHERAL CHONDROSARCOMA

 Arises from cartilage cap of an exostosis present from childhood


 Commonly- pelvis and scapula
 Xray shows- bony exostosis
Cloudy exostosis otherwise normal cartilage cap
 MRI best for size and internal features of cartilage cap
JUXTACORTICAL
(PERIOSTEAL)CHONDROSARCOMA
 Appears as a excrescence on the surface of tubular bones- femur

 Arises from outermost layer of cortex

 XRAY -Outgrowth from bone surface,


flecks of calcification, Sunray streaks and new bone
formation

 Dominant cell type-Chondroblastic


CLEAR CELL CHONDROSARCOMA

 Resembles aggressive chondroblastoma

 Very slow growing but eventually metastasize


MESENCHYMAL CHONDROSARCOMA

 Occurs in younger individuals.

 Tumor lies in soft tissue outside adjacent bone.

 Xray similar to the other types

 Histology shows mesenchymal cells with chondroid tissue

 More aggressive
INVESTIGATIONS

 For full staging-


 XRAY
 MRI
 Chest XRAY
 Finally to confirm diagnosis- Biopsy
 Histopathology- Macroscopic lobular white hyaline cartilage
 cystic changes, erosion of cortex, soft tissue
 expansion
 Microscopically- high cellularity, hyperchromatosis, atypia, mitosis
TREATMENT

 Poor prognosis (5-year survival 7-24%)

 Improved by wide surgical resection

 Worsened by- Pathological fracture, advancing age, metastasis


TREATMENT

Because of their extracellular matrix, low percentage of dividing cells,


and poor vascularity, they are relatively chemo- and radiotherapy
resistant.

 Ideal for wise excision and prosthetic replacement

 If loss of function- amputation

 Tendency for recurrence later, follow up for 10 years or longer
