  • Title: Dedifferentiation of low grade chondrosarcomas.
    Author: McFarland GB, McKinley LM, Reed RJ.
    Journal: Clin Orthop Relat Res; 1977; (122):157-64. PubMed ID: 837602.
    Abstract:
    In four unusual cases where a low-grade chondrosarcoma suddenly dedifferentiated into a florid, highly-malignant fibrosarcoma, the average survival was 12 months (range 5-18 months). The surgical treatment of chondrosarcoma consists of a primary excisional biopsy, and if dedifferentiation to fibrosarcoma is seen, radical excision and chemotherapy or irradiation or both.
