Overview

Physical examination findings will depend on the location of the chondrosarcoma. Common physical examination findings of chondrosarcoma are localized swelling and tenderness.

Physical Examination

Physical examination findings will depend on the location of the chondrosarcoma. Most chondrosarcomas are located in the long bone of extremities.

Extremities

A palpable firm non tender or tender mass may be appreciated on physical examination. Assessment of the following mass characteristics is crucial during physical examination:

• Size
• Location
• Involvement of adjacent structures (such as peripheral nerves or veins)
• Edema
