Overview

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.
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.
