Low-Grade Chondrosarcoma of the Proximal Phalanx: A Rare Presentation

الملخص EN

Case.

Chondrosarcomas are the second most common primary malignant sarcoma of the bone, though it is overall a rare tumor.

Our case presents a 36-year-old Caucasian male who complained of an enlarging mass at his third finger MCP joint.

After assessing the full clinical scenario, it was determined that wide excision with ray resection would provide the best result for this patient.

Conclusion.

This study explains a rare malignancy presenting in the proximal phalanx of the hand.

The following report will review chondrosarcomas involving the hands, help differentiate between low-grade chondrosarcomas and enchondromas, and briefly cover treatment modalities.
