Overview
Common risk factors in the development of chondrosarcoma are benign cartilage tumors such as enchondromas, osteochondromas, multiple exostoses, Ollier's disease, and Maffucci's syndrome.
Risk Factors
Chondrosarcoma may arise from pervious benign cartilage tumors. Some of these tumors are:
- Enchondromas are type of benign bone tumor that often occurs in the hands, but can also occur in other sites of the body.
- Osteochondromas are benign tumors that arise near the growth plate of the bone.
- Multiple exostoses are multiple overgrowths of cartilage that occur at the end of the growth plate.
- Ollier's disease is a disease causing multiple enchondromas.
- Maffucci's syndrome is a disease with multiple enchondromas and angiomas.
