    Abstract:
    Chondrosarcoma is a rare malignant cartilaginous tumour of the bone. It commonly occurs in the pelvis, scapula proximal femur, and shoulder girdle .We present a case of a woman in her 56 years of age with chondrosarcoma of the calcaneum-a rare lesion that accounts for 0.5-2.97% of all chondrosarcomas of other sites. Treatment for chondrosarcoma is generally wide surgical excision. Chemotherapy or radiation is not effective for most of these lesions.
