Chondrosarcoma (CS) is a primary bone malignancy which differentiated from the cartilage tissue. It accounts for approximately 20% of malignant bone tumours. It ranks the third most common primary bone malignancy after osteosarcoma and myeloma. About 25% of the chondrosarcoma was reported in the pelvic region and the rest was reported in the periphery of the body. The management of pelvic chondrosarcoma is extremely challenging because it is radioresistant and chemoresistant. Therefore, surgical resection is the only curable treatment. However, completely surgical resection is impossible due to the close relationship between the tumour and the other pelvic structures. We report a case of locally aggressive pelvic chondrosarcoma in which sacrectomy was done. Bilateral iliac bone was fixed to the lumbar vertebrae by using screw fixation. However, the patient did not survive after he suffered from a number of post-operative complications.
