Abstract

This article presents a review of chondrosarcoma variants, with a focus on the extraordinarily rare variants of chondrosarcoma in which hyaline cartilage is not the dominant feature. Discussed are the differential diagnoses for these neoplasms, radiologic studies, gross and microscopic features, and prognosis. Summaries are provided of the key features for the major variants.
