Distal radius chondrosarcoma in a 35 ‐year‐old female patient: A case report
We report a case of distal radius chondrosarcoma in a 35-year-old female patient who presented with pain and swelling in her left wrist. Following an initial examination, an incisional biopsy was performed, confirming the diagnosis of dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma. The patient underwent a marginal resection of the distal radius and first carpal with ipsilateral fibular and locking compression plate fixation. Unfortunately, despite the interventions, the patient experienced recurrent swelling and ultimately required below-elbow amputation, followed by above elbow amputation due to metastasis. Unfortunately, the patient pa...

Imaging findings of arrested pneumatisation and differentiation from other skull base lesions
CONCLUSIONS: The characteristic imaging findings of AP, namely non-expansile on CT and non-uptake on FDG-PET, may aid in its differentiation from other skull base lesions.PMID:37870117 | DOI:10.1259/dmfr.20230297 (Source: Dentomaxillofacial Radiology)

Does primary tumor resection improve survival for patients with sarcomas of pelvic bones, sacrum, and coccyx who have metastasis at diagnosis ?
ConclusionPrimary lesion resection may provide a survival benefit for metastatic chondrosarcoma, but not for osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma of pelvic bones, sacrum, and coccyx. This population-based study recommends an active surgical intervention for metastatic chondrosarcoma while non-surgical treatment for metastatic osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma of the pelvis in terms of survival improvement.

Endoscopic transsphenoidal approach in resection of intracranial clivus chondrosarcoma: A case report
Oncol Lett. 2023 Oct 3;26(5):498. doi: 10.3892/ol.2023.14085. eCollection 2023 Nov.ABSTRACTIntracranial primary chondrosarcomas are rare, accounting for <0.15% of all intracranial tumors, but exhibit a high risk of recurrence. Due to the rarity of this condition, it has proven difficult to establish efficacy-based treatment guidelines. The present study details a case of clivus chondrosarcoma exhibiting no recurrence following surgical resection using an endoscopic transsphenoidal approach and postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy. A 41-year-old female presented with primary symptoms of left eye esotropia, scotoma of the ...
