Malignant degeneration of an osteochondroma with unusual intra-bursal invasion

Skeletal Radiol. 1999 Sep;28(9):540-3. doi: 10.1007/s002560050560.

Abstract

Multiple hereditary osteochondromatosis is an uncommon autosomal dominant condition in which patients are predisposed to the development of chondrosarcoma. We report a case of a patient who developed a secondary low-grade chondrosarcoma in this setting. The tumor was associated with an unusual multinodular invasive growth pattern into a pre-existing bursa that was present overlying the osteochondroma.
