Slide 152.Chondrosarcoma, dedifferentiated, Rib
 

A. Brief Descriptions

  1. A biphasic tumor consisting of a poorly differentiated sarcomatous component juxtaposed to an otherwise typical low-grade chondrosarcoma.

  2. Peak age: sixth decade with most common lesions in femur and pelvis.

  3. Radiographic features: an aggressive area superimposed on typical chondrosarcoma.

B. Gross Findings

  1. Lobulated, gray-white hyaline cartilage coexists with a well circumscribed soft tumor mass.

C. Micro Findings

  1. Lobulated, hyaline cartilaginous lesion.

  2. Cellular lesion (chondrocytes) with pleomorphic, hyperchromatic or binucleated nuclei cells.

D. Others:

   略.
