Abstract

Osteochondroma is the most common form of benign bone tumors. Chondrosarcoma is a rare malignant bone tumor that may be primary or secondary to a malignant transformation of a benign cartilage tumor. We report the case of a 41-year-old man with chondrosarcoma secondary to malignant transformation of osteochondroma of the left third rib. We discuss osteochondromas, chances of malignancy  secondary to osteochondromas, assessment of the tumor in our case, as well as treatment options that have shown significant benefits in patient’s outcomes.
