NCIt related terms : CHONDROSARCOMA, MALIGNANT; Chondrosarcoma, NOS;
NCIt definition : A malignant cartilaginous matrix-producing mesenchymal neoplasm arising from the bone
and soft tissue. It usually affects middle-aged to elderly adults. The pelvic bones,
ribs, shoulder girdle, and long bones are the most common sites of involvement. Most
chondrosarcomas arise de novo, but some may develop in a preexisting benign cartilaginous
lesion.;
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: A type of cancer that forms in bone cartilage. It usually starts in the
pelvis (between the hip bones), the shoulder, the ribs, or at the ends of the long
bones of the arms and legs. A rare type of chondrosarcoma called extraskeletal chondrosarcoma
does not form in bone cartilage. Instead, it forms in the soft tissues of the upper
part of the arms and legs. Chondrosarcoma can occur at any age but is more common
in people older than 40 years. It is a type of bone cancer.; CDISC: A malignant mesenchymal neoplasm arising from cartilage-forming tissues.;
