Chondroblastoma (11)
Internet resources relating to Chondroblastoma, a usually benign tumor composed of cells which arise from chondroblasts or their precursors and which tend to differentiate into cartilage cells. It occurs primarily in the epiphyses of adolescents. It is relatively rare and represents less than 2% of all primary bone tumors. The peak incidence is in the second decade of life; it is about twice as common in males as in females.

Chondroma (22)
Internet resources relating to Chondroma, a benign neoplasm derived from mesodermal cells that form cartilage. It may remain within the substance of a cartilage or bone (true chondroma or enchondroma) or may develop on the surface of a cartilage (ecchondroma or ecchondrosis).

Chondrosarcoma (34)
Internet resources relating to Chondrosarcoma, a slowly growing malignant neoplasm derived from cartilage cells, occurring most frequently in pelvic bones or near the ends of long bones, in middle-aged and old people. Most chondrosarcomas arise de novo, but some may develop in a preexisting benign cartilaginous lesion or in patients with ENCHONDROMATOSIS.

Clear Cell Sarcoma (7)
Internet resources relating to Clear Cell Sarcoma, a sarcoma of young, often female, adults of the lower extremities and sacral regions, intimately bound to tendons as circumscribed but unencapsulated melanin-bearing tumors of neuroectodermal origin. An ultrastructural finding simulates flattened and curved barrel staves, corresponding to the internal structures of premelanosomes. There is a 45-60% mortality in clear cell sarcoma.

Synovial Sarcoma (21)
Internet resources relating to Synovial Sarcoma, a malignant neoplasm arising from tenosynovial tissue of the joints and in synovial cells of tendons and bursae. The legs are the most common site, but the tumor can occur in the abdominal wall and other trunk muscles. There are two recognized types: the monophasic (characterized by sheaths of monotonous spindle cells) and the biphasic (characterized by slit-like spaces or clefts within the tumor, lined by cuboidal or tall columnar epithelial cells). These sarcomas occur most commonly in the second and fourth decades of life.

Low Grade Cartilage Tumors eMedicine Orthopedics

Location: http://www.emedicine.com/orthoped/topic648.htm

Cartilage tumors vary in severity from benign enchondroma to low-grade malignant chondrosarcoma to the highest-grade dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma. Chondrosarcoma is the second most common primary malignant bone tumor, accounting for 10-20% of all primary bony malignancies (Healey, 1986; Rizzo, 2001). Enchondroma, which consists of benign endosteal cartilage, is much more common...
