“…Cross-sectional imaging features of chest wall CS have only been insufficiently described [ 2 , 4 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 12 , 14 ]. Some cross-sectional imaging features that we observed are similar to the imaging features described in chondrosarcomas elsewhere in the body, and, as such, were expected.…”

“…Chondrosarcomas (CS) of the chest wall are rare lesions, but they represent the most common primary malignant bone tumors of the chest wall [ 1 , 2 ]. Both primary [ 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 ] and secondary forms of CS [ 11 , 12 , 13 ] have previously been reported.…”

“…The imaging features of CS of the chest wall have been insufficiently described, with limited reports depicting the imaging features for radiography [ 6 , 7 , 9 ], cross-sectional imaging [ 2 , 4 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 12 , 14 ], and PET [ 4 , 15 , 16 , 17 ]. There are, however, several reports in the surgical literature regarding the clinical features and prognosis of CS of the chest wall [ 5 , 8 , 13 , 18 , 19 , 20 ].…”

The purpose of our retrospective article is to review the CT imaging features of chondrosarcomas of the chest wall with pathologic correlation. For 26 subjects with biopsy-proven chondrosarcomas of the chest wall, two musculoskeletal radiologists retrospectively reviewed 26 CT scans in consensus. Descriptive statistics were performed. The mean tumor size was 57 mm. Twenty (20/26, 77%) chondrosarcomas were located in the ribs and six (6/26, 23%) in the sternum. The majority were lytic (19/26, 73%) with <25% calcification (15/26, 58%), and with a soft tissue mass (22/27, 85%). In this study CT features of grade 1 chondrosarcoma overlapped with those of grade 2 tumors. In conclusion, chondrosarcomas of the chest wall are generally lytic with an associated soft tissue mass, showing little calcified matrix and low-to-intermediate grade.
