Aggressive Mesenchymal Chondrosarcoma of the Rib With Early Skeletal Metastases: A Diagnostic Challenge.

Internal Medicine, Centro Hospitalar Tondela Viseu, Viseu, PRT.
Mesenchymal chondrosarcoma (MCS) is a rare, aggressive subtype of chondrosarcoma characterized by biphasic histology, often misdiagnosed due to its rarity and histological resemblance to other small round cell tumors. It predominantly affects adolescents and young adults. We report a 27-year-old male presenting with a progressively enlarging, painless mass in the right inframammary region, initially attributed to muscular strain.

Objectives: To evaluate the value of (dynamic) contrast-enhanced MRI for the diagnosis and follow-up of central cartilage tumors (CCT) of the proximal humerus, distal femur and proximal tibia.
Materials & Methods: 97 patients (44 ± 11 years, 31men) with a CCT (histopathologically proven and/or > 2 years follow-up (5 ± 3 years)) were retrospectively/consecutively included at the Ghent University Hospital (Belgium, 2003-2021). Thickness of the enhancing rim and dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI parameters of the entire tumor were calculated.

Article Synopsis
- Chondrosarcoma most often forms in the pelvis and femur, and while surgical removal is the main treatment for tumors in the ribs, it can create significant challenges for chest wall reconstruction.
- A 49-year-old woman with a diagnosed Grade I chondrosarcoma had a large mass affecting her ribs and diaphragm, leading to a complete surgical resection of the tumor and surrounding affected structures, followed by reconstruction using mesh and sutures.
- The histopathology revealed a Grade II chondrosarcoma, but the patient had an uneventful recovery, highlighting the need for careful planning and collaborative approaches in treating such cases.

Introduction: chondrosarcoma is a high-grade malignant tumor composed of mesenchymal cells with cartilage differentiation. It most frequently appears in the bones of the pelvis, the femur, and the humerus. The main management method is oncological resection with wide margins and function-preserving reconstruction.
