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.
