Ewing’s Sarcoma
Ewing sarcoma is malignant (cancerous) aggressive tumor that arises directly from the bone. It most commonly affects the femur, tibia, and humerus, frequently in children and adolescents. Treatment includes a combination of chemotherapy and surgery.
Chordoma
Chordoma is a slow growing (low-grade), cancerous (malignant) bone tumor. These tumors most commonly affect the sacrum, spine, or base of the skull.
Mesenchymal Chondrosarcoma
It is a particularly rare and deadly type of chondrosarcoma. Approximately ⅔ of cases occur in the bone. and ⅓ in the soft tissues. Can metastasize to lungs, liver, lymph nodes and other bones.
Dedifferentiated Chondrosarcoma
A dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma is a highly aggressive cancerous cartilage tumor or neoplasm. If this tumor is not removed, it will bore into the bone. This may lead to bone breaking, also known as a pathological fracture. It has a very high risk of spreading to other parts of the body.
Clear Cell Chondrosarcoma
This is a malignant tumor or neoplasm composed of cartilage cells. It most commonly affects the ends of long bones such as the femur, humerus, and tibia.
Conventional Chondrosarcoma
A Conventional Chondrosarcoma is a cancerous bone tumor. It consists of cartilage located within the bone. It is a cancerous tumor, and can lead to bone destruction. It is a slow growing tumor that will not spread to other parts of the body in most cases.
Adimantinoma
What is an Adamantinoma? An adamantinoma is a rare, slow-growing bone sarcoma (cancer). It might arise from a pre-existing condition from the bone called an osteofibrous dysplasia. Since these tumors are slow-growing, they rarely spread to other sites in the...
