    Abstract:
    Chondrosarcoma is a rare complication in hereditary multiple exostoses. The six patients in this study have had a complete follow-up and constitute the largest group of such cases to have been studied so far. Five patients had histologic evidence of malignancy. Since histologic examination can be very difficult, any other diagnostic features, may it be clinical, radiologic, or scintigraphical, should be taken into account for early surgical treatment. Bone scintigraphic examination is a valuable adjunct to early diagnosis of malignant change by showing highest uptake in malignant areas. It is also very useful for posttherapeutic follow-up.
