==Chondrosarcoma==
==Chondrosarcoma==
===General===
{{Main|Chondrosarcoma}}
*Usually a good prognosis.
 
Clinical/epidemiologic features:<ref name=pmid17976362>{{cite journal |author=Skubitz KM, D'Adamo DR |title=Sarcoma |journal=Mayo Clin. Proc. |volume=82 |issue=11 |pages=1409–32 |year=2007 |month=November |pmid=17976362 |doi= |url=http://www.mayoclinicproceedings.com/content/82/11/1409.long}}</ref>
*Usually arise in a (benign) abnormality of cartilage (e.g. osteochondroma, enchondroma).
*May be associated with a syndrome:
**Olier disease (multiple enchondromatosis).
**Maffucci syndrome (multiple enchondromas and hemangiomas).
 
Notes:
*Review article (from oncology perspective): PMID 17545802.
 
====Subtypes====
Several subtypes exist:
*Chondrosarcoma not otherwise specified (NOS).
*Juxtacortical chondrosarcoma.
*Myxoid chondrosarcoma.
*Mesenchymal chondrosarcoma.
*Clear cell chondrosarcoma.
*Dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma.
 
===Microscopic===
Features:<ref>IAV. 26 February 2009.</ref><ref name=Ref_Klatt417>{{Ref Klatt|417}}</ref>
*"Abnormal cartilage":
**+/-Nuclear atypia - high grade lesions.
***High grade lesions:
****Nuclear clearing.
****Nucleoli.
****Hyperchromasia.
***Low/intermediate grade lesions:
****Bi-nucleation.
****Hypochromatic enlarged nuclei.
****Infiltration of lamellar bone ("invasion") - not common - '''diagnostic'''.
**Increased cellularity.
***More cellular than cartilage... but relatively paucicellular compared to other sarcomas.
**Irregular spacing of chondrocytes.
 
Notes:
*Low grade chondrosarcoma are not cytologically malignant; the diagnosis rests mostly on radiologic findings.
**The exception is ''infiltration of lamellar bone'' -- this is diagnostic of chondrosarcoma.<ref>Dickson, B. 28 April 2011.</ref>
 
DDx:
*[[Chordoma]].
*[[Enchondroma]].
*[[Synovial chondromatosis]].
*[[Osteosarcoma]] - esp. [[chondroblastic osteosarcoma]] - has osteoid, may be focal.

Notes:
*The ''t(11;22)(q24;q12)'' is seen in ~90% of EWS/PNET... but also in:

**Small cell osteogenic sarcoma (small cell variant of [[osteosarcoma]]).

**[[Rhabdomyosarcoma]].
**[[Neuroblastoma]] (possibly).

*Lack of molecular findings does ''not'' exclude Ewing sarcoma.
