Abstract
Chondrosarcomas are malignant cartilaginous neoplasms with a variable clinical behavior. It often involves the axial skeleton and affects the elderly. It can be primary or secondary chondrosarcoma. Lung is the most common site of metastasis. Here we report a case of multifocal chondrosarcoma involving four different skeletal sites without lung metastasis. Multifocal chondrosarcoma in the absence of lung metastasis is an extremely rare presentation. It is a radioresistant and chemo resistant tumor except for few histologic variants. Surgery is the cornerstone in its management. Complete surgical excision with negative margins of all the involved sites is the preferred treatment modality. In this case it was possible to completely resect all the sites of disease involvement.
