Bone metastases from chondroblastoma: a rare pattern of metastatic disease in an adult

We present an unusual case of a 55 year-old male patient who presented with multiple FDG-avid bone lesions on a background of conventional chondroblastoma of the rib excised at another institution 11-years prev iously. Two of these lesions were also histologically-proven as conventional chondroblastoma at biopsy. This case highlights that, although rare, metastases can be seen in patients with chondroblastoma. To our knowledge, this is the only case with an unusual pattern of metastases limited to bone.
