Subcutaneous and lung metastases from chondrosarcoma of the thumb

We present a rare case of metacarpal chondrosarcoma with cutaneous metastases in the ipsilateral upper arm. Chondrosarcomas of the small bones of the hand rarely metastasise unlike chondrosarcomas elsewhere in the body. Excision/ray amputation rather than curettage may be preferable in the treatment...

Sumario:We present a rare case of metacarpal chondrosarcoma with cutaneous metastases in the ipsilateral upper arm. Chondrosarcomas of the small bones of the hand rarely metastasise unlike chondrosarcomas elsewhere in the body. Excision/ray amputation rather than curettage may be preferable in the treatment of high-grade chondrosarcomas in the hand.
