Hemipelvectomy for chondrosarcoma involving left thigh extending into left pelvis and left pubic bone

Rajinder Pal Singal, Muzzafar Zaman

Abstract :

Primary malignant bone tumors involving the pelvis account for 15% of all primary malignant bone tumors . We report the case of a patient having chondrosarcoma involving left thigh, pelvis and pubic area in a 45 years old male who underwent an extensive internal hemipelvectomy without any bony reconstruction. Follow up of patient at 6 months showed a good oncological and functional outcome. One important prognostic factor on local outcome is the site of the tumour. Those tumours which crossed the sacroiliac joint had a higher incidence of local recurrence compared with those at other sites.
