Abstract

Teaching Point: Although magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays a considerable role in the detection and differentiation of chondrosarcoma (e.g., by cortical breakthrough, peritumoral soft tissue edema, and extra-osseous extension), it is important to be aware of atypical features of common bone tumors.
