    Author: Pinder MA, Dibardino DJ, Collier AB, Knudson JD.
    Journal: Cardiol Young; 2015 Feb; 25(2):384-7. PubMed ID: 24666727.
    Abstract:
    Chondrosarcoma is a malignant bone tumour common in adults, third to myeloma and osteosarcoma, but is exceptionally rare in children. Here we discuss a 9-year-old girl presenting with occlusive right pulmonary artery neoplastic embolus, resulting from a primary right proximal humerus chondrosarcoma. To the best of our knowledge, this the first pediatric and only second overall case reported in the United States of a neoplastic pulmonary embolus resulting from a primary chondrosarcoma.
