Grade 1 chondrosarcoma or enchondroma? Histology Radiology Molecular Pathology
Enchondroma or Grade I chondrosarcoma: Histology Kappa ~ 0.5 Two features >95% sensitivity and specificity Permeation = host bone entrapment > 20% myxoid matrix Eefting D et al. Am J Surg Pathol 2009 33:50-57
Chondrosarcoma: Permeation Enchondroma: Multiple nodules of hyaline cartilage separated by normal marrow (and) plates of lamellar bone that conform to the irregular shapes of cartilage lobules. Chondrosarcoma: Single confluent mass of cartilage trapping host lamellar bone or invasion into Haversian or Volkman systems. - J. Mirra (1985) Pitfalls Small biopsy Curettage Endochondral ossification Mirra JM et al. Clin Ortho Rel Res 1985 201:214-237

ROMSDAHL, MD, PHD Cancer 40:818-831, 1977. Histology 5 year survival 10 year survival Grade 1 Hypercellular, uniform but hyperchromatic nuclei, nuclear detail not visible 90 83 Grade 2 Diffusely hypercellular, nuclei paler with visible intranuclear detail 81 64 Grade 3 Sheets of cells, larger nuclei, mitotic activity > 2mf/10 hpf 43 29

Pitfall: cartilage tumors of the hands and feet Enchondroma of hands and feet Clinical: Very common site (~30%), painful, pathologic fracture common Radiographs: Cortical erosion common Histology: Hypercellular, myxoid change, nuclear hyperchromasia, permeation within medulla

Take-home messages Correlation of radiologic, clinical and histologic features are critical, especially in low-grade cartilage lesions. Permeation is the most sensitive histologic criterion separating enchondroma from chondrosarcoma. Chondrosarcoma of small bones of the hands and feet should be diagnosed with caution. Chondrosarcomas, especially grade 1, are predominantly locally aggressive, but local disease can be fatal even in the absence of metastases
