Dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma of right proximal femur
Dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma (DDCS) comprises approximately 10% of all chondrosarcomas. The tumor generally occurs after the age of 50 years, with equal distribution among males and females. It is most often located in the bones of the pelvis, the proximal femur or humerus, the distal femur, and...
