Classification

Chondrosarcoma is classified into six "subtypes" based on:

1. The topographical location of the tumor
2. The histological characteristics of the cancerous cartilage cells
3. The makeup of the surrounding matrix material associated with the tumor

• Chondrosarcoma NOS ("Not Otherwise Specified")
• Juxtacortical chondrosarcoma
• Myxoid chondrosarcoma
• Mesenchymal chondrosarcoma
• Clear cell chondrosarcoma
• Dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma
