Overview

NCI Definition: A malignant cartilaginous matrix-producing mesenchymal neoplasm arising from the bone and soft tissue. It usually affects middle-aged to elderly adults. The pelvic bones, ribs, shoulder girdle, and long bones are the most common sites of involvement. Most chondrosarcomas arise de novo, but some may develop in a preexisting benign cartilaginous lesion. [1]

Chondrosarcomas most frequently harbor alterations in IDH1, TP53, CDKN2A, CDKN2B, and IDH2 [2].

Most Commonly Altered Genes in Chondrosarcoma

IDH1 Mutation, IDH1 Codon 132 Missense, TP53 Mutation, TP53 c.217-c.1178 Missense, and TP53 Missense are the most common alterations in chondrosarcoma [2].
