Chondrosarcoma
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Chondrosarcoma is a type of malignant bone tumor that originates in cartilage, the tissue that covers the ends of the bones. It usually appears in bones of the pelvis, the femur, or the shoulder, and grows slowly in most cases.
Frequent symptoms: it may present with deep, persistent pain in the affected bone, swelling, or a palpable mass that increases in size over time. Sometimes the pain worsens at night.
When to seek care? It is advisable to check any bone discomfort that does not ease with rest or that is accompanied by a growing lump.
Which specialist treats it? The orthopedist, especially one who focuses on musculoskeletal tumors, is the appropriate professional to study the case through imaging and biopsy. If you notice these signs, the most sensible step is to place yourself in the hands of this specialist for a timely evaluation.
