Overview
Risk Factors
Chondrosarcoma may arise from pervious benign cartilage tumors. Some of these tumors are:
- Enchondromas- a type of benign bone tumor that often occurs in the hands, but can also occur in other sites of the body.
- Osteochondromas- benign tumors that arise near the growth plate of the bone.
- Multiple exostoses - multiple overgrowths of cartilage that occur at the end of the growth plate.
- Ollier's disease- a disease causing multiple enchondromas.
- Maffucci's syndrome- a disease with multiple enchondromas and angiomas.
