Chondrosarcoma of Right Upper Limb: Largest of Its Kind Operated in Our Institute

Abstract

Chondrosarcoma of extremities is the second most common site for this particular bone tumor. Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy
is frequently used to down stage tumor for limb-sparing surgery in locally advanced tumor, but chondrosarcoma is relatively
resistant to chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and hence sometimes mutilating surgery like forequarter amputation has to be
performed. In this case also, patient presented with locally advanced chondrosarcoma of right upper extremity and we had to
perform forequarter amputation to achieve adequate clearance.
