    Abstract

    Curative resection of pelvic chondrosarcoma is sometimes technically impossible. In such cases, surgical debulking on one or more occasions may provide symptomatic relief. In a series of 12 patients with pelvic chondrosarcoma, three have undergone a single debulking procedure and three two or more such procedures. All six patients obtained symptomatic relief and five remain alive and well at a median of 12 months from surgery. Two patients have no clinical evidence of recurrent disease 21 and 25 months after the last debulking procedure.
