  • Title: Chondrosarcoma arising in an osteochondroma: an unusual cause of an abdominal mass.
    Author: Robson AK, Kissin MW, Eltringham WK.
    Journal: Eur J Surg Oncol; 1990 Feb; 16(1):60-2. PubMed ID: 2407561.
    Abstract:
    Secondary chondrosarcomas are rare tumours, which can develop in up to 2% of patients with single osteochondromas. The rarity of presentation of these tumours to the general surgeon can lead to difficulty and delay in diagnosis. We describe such a tumour presenting as an abdominal mass and discuss the appropriate investigations necessary to establish the diagnosis and plan subsequent management.
