6. Chondrosarcoma - Gross
Chondrosarcomas are about one half as frequent as osteosarcoma. Note
that the tumor has developed in the proximal femur and that it has
not destroyed the cortex. The tumor has a bluish, glassy appearance,
reminiscent of cartilage. Compare and contrast the location,
incidence, age of occurrence, and histology of this tumor with
primary osteosarcoma.
