Overview
Chondrosarcoma is the second most common malignant primary tumor of bone. It is most frequently diagnosed in patients in their 4th and 5th decades of life. Men are slightly more affected by chondrosarcoma than women. There is no racial predilection to chondrosarcoma.

- Chondrosarcoma is the second most common primary bone sarcoma.[1]
- The incidence of chondrosarcoam is approximately 1 per 100,000 individuals worldwide.[2]
Age
