Definition : A slowly growing malignant neoplasm derived from cartilage cells, occurring most frequently
in pelvic bones or near the ends of long bones, in middle-aged and old people. Most
chondrosarcomas arise de novo, but some may develop in a preexisting benign cartilaginous
lesion or in patients with enchondromatosis. (Stedman, 25th ed) [MeSH];
