This protocol addresses low-grade peripheral chondrosarcoma arising from a pre-existing osteochondroma — a distinct sub-population of chondrosarcoma characterised by its peripheral origin and lower-grade histology.
The tumour arises at the periphery of the skeleton in the setting of an osteochondroma. The low-grade nature and peripheral location define both the risk profile and the appropriate management strategy for this patient group.
