    [A new variety of chondrosarcoma : so-called "chondro-blastic" sarcomas or "clear cell" chondrosarcomas. Pathology and electron microscopy in 5 cases (author's transl)].

    [Article in French]

    Abstract

    The authors report the pathological and clinical findings in five cases of chondrosarcoma resembling chondroblastic chondrosarcomas as described by Lichtenstein and Bernstein in 1959 and, above all, clear cell chondrosarcomas as described by Unni et al. (1976). These chondrosarcomas have a double peculiarity:--topographic, for their site is often epiphyseal :--anatomica, for they associate, in the usual chondrosarcomatous sectors, areas rich in clear cells, with a rich blood supply, and in some cases a diffuse reactional osteogenesis. Although the long term prognosis is similar to that of all chondrosarcomas, their course is sometimes very slow. One should thus distinguish carefully these tumours from chondroblastomas in spite of certain topographic and radiological similarities.
