Abstract
Dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma is a highly malignant variant of chondrosarcoma. It makes upto 10-15% of
all reported chondrosarcomas. Prognosis of dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma is poor and metastasis is common at the
time of initial presentation. A 52-year- old man presented with numbness and dragging sensation of right lower limb and
pain and wasting of right thigh of 4 month duration. Excision biopsy revealed dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma of
femoral shaft. We report this case because of its rare nature and due to absence of metastasis at the time of presentation.
