Enchondromas are said to be extremely rare precursors of secondary chondrosarcomas. Peripheral enchondromas of the hand and foot may be considered as benign, even when the histomorphological study reveals pleomorphic features with atypical nuclei. Our case deals with a 56 year old woman who had an e

Abstract
Chondrosarcoma of the first metatarsal was observed in an 84โyearโold man. Chondrosarcoma of the small bones of the foot is comparatively rare. These tumors generally arise de novo rather than from a preexisting benign cartilage lesion. Pedal chondrosarcoma presents as a painful enlarging mass. Radiographs show lytic destruction of bone with or without calcification. The histological grade, location of the tumor, and adequacy of surgical excision are the major determinants of longโterm survival.
