Overview

Chondrosarcoma may be classified into six subtypes based on topographical location of tumor, histological characteristics, makeup of surrounding matrix material.

Classification

Chondrosarcoma is classified into six "subtypes" based on:

  1. The topographical location of the tumor
  2. The histological characteristics of the cancerous cartilage cells
  3. The makeup of the surrounding matrix material associated with the tumor
