Learn About Chondrosarcoma

View Main Condition: Brain Tumor

What is the definition of Chondrosarcoma?
Chondrosarcoma is a rare, slow-growing form of bone cancer that develops in the bones or the cartilage. The cartilage is the connective tissue from which most bones develop. Chondrosarcomas appear in bones or cartilage at the base of the skull, arms, scapula, ribs, pelvis, knee, femur (thighbone), or tibia.
What are the symptoms of Chondrosarcoma?
Symptoms of chondrosarcoma depend on the cartilage or bone that is involved and include the appearance of a large mass on the affected bone, swelling and pressure surrounding the mass, muscle wasting, gradually increasing pain not relieved with rest, constant pain that worsens at night, and fracture of the affected bone. A chondrosarcoma that appears on the spine may cause weakness, numbness, and an inability to control the release of urine (incontinence) or bowels.
