Abstract
|
|
|
|
There are some malignant changes in multiple osteochondroma to chondrosarcoma, but secondary chondrosarcomas rarely develop in 1~2% of patients with solitary osteochondromas. Chondrosarcomas of the bones of hands and feet are rare, in comparison with their occurrence at other sites. The calcaneus was most commonly involved in the feet, but malignant transformation of solitary osteochondroma of the calcaneum to chondrosarcoma is extremely rare. We report one case of solitary calcaneal mass that grows slowly without pain from 6 years ago. He was 38 aged old man and surgical excision of the mass revealed chondrosarcoma arising from osteochondroma of the calcaneum.
