Overview
X Ray
On x-ray, chondrosarcoma is characterized by:
- Lytic lesion
- Intralesional calcification (rings and arcs calcification or popcorn calcification).
- Endosteal scalloping affecting more than two thirds of the cortical thickness (less than 2/3 in enchondromas)
- Moth eaten appearance or permeative appearance in higher grade tumors.
- Cortical remodeling, thickening and periosteal reaction. These findings are useful in distinguishing between an enchondroma and low grade chondrosarcoma.
