Popis: Chondrosarcoma is a malignant hyaline cartilage forming tumor. It is a rare pathology, with an estimated incidence of one in 200 000 individuals per year. It appears in two forms: primary, representing 90% of all cases and secondary emergence that develops on preexistent lesions. Primary chondrosarcomas are uncommon in the hand, with a frequency of only 1.5-3.2% of all chondrosarcomas. In conventional chondrosarcoma (cCS), the histological malignancy grading represents the main prognostic factor for surgical planning and prognosis. We present the case of a 60-year-old male, examined in the First Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology, "Dr. Pius Branzeu" Clinical Hospital, Timisoara, Romania, with non-specific symptoms in the right hand. After clinical examination and imagistics, surgery and histopathological examination of the tumor were performed. This showed a conventional well differentiated - G1 chondrosarcoma, as suggested also by imagistic and clinical context.
