Location and morphology of clear cell type chondrosarcoma?
large sheets of chondrocytes with clear cytoplasm surrounded by osteoclast giant cells (osteosarcomas are by metaphysis while these are epiphyses)

reactive bone formation occurs between lesions
mesenchymal chondrosarcoma morphology and location?
islands of hyaline surrounded by sheets of small round cells, by central skeleton (shoulder, pelvis, ribs)
Chondrosarcomas and enchondromas are both sheets of hyaline cartilage. What should help differentiate?
enchondromas occur in distal extremities and undergo enchondral ossifcation in the periphery while chondrosarcomas are axial and have weird cells surrounding the tumor
Why are chondrosarcomas of higher grade more radiolucent?
they don't have time to form reactive bone like low grades with a thick cortex
Tx for chondrosarcomas?
low grade: excision
high grade: chemo and excision because of aggressiveness

Why is there no osteoblastic rimming in fibrous dysplasia?
because this is a developmental arrest so there is no bone building!
