Abstract
|
|
|
|
Clear cell chondrosarcoma is a rare, low-grade variant of chondrosarcoma that comprises approximately 2% of all chondrosarcomas. This tumor usually involves the epiphysis and epimetaphysis of long bones, especially the proximal part of the femur or humerus, whereas involvement of the scapula is rare. It occurs at any age, but the peak is third to fifth decade, and is rarely seen in the first and second decades of life. Histologically, tumor cells with abundant clear cytoplasm and benign giant cells are usually found. We report on a case of clear cell chondrosarcoma of the scapula in an 8-year-old girl.
