Overview

Chondrosarcoma may be classified based on histological findings and location.

Classification

Histological Classification

Primary Chondrosarcoma

  • Chondrosarcoma that arises denovo and comprises of following subtypes:
    • Conventional chondrosarcoma - Low-grade, high-grade, and dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma (90% of all chondrosarcomas)
    • Clear cell chondrosarcoma (1% of all chondrosarcomas)
    • Mesenchymal chondrosarcoma (2% of all chondrosarcomas)

Secondary Chondrosarcoma

Based on Location

  • Chondrosarcoma may be classified based on location into following groups:[3][4]
    • Centrally located within the medullary cavity. (central chondrosarcoma) (70% of all chondrosarcomas)
    • Peripherally located on the surface of bone as a result of malignant transformation within the cartilaginous cap. (Peripheral chondrosarcoma) (15% of all chondrosarcomas)
