Zusammenfassung: | Background
Chondrosarcoma is a group of bone tumours made up of cells responsible for cartilage production. It usually affects the axial skeleton, including the pelvis, scapula and base of the skull with frequent metastasis to the lungs. Primary pulmonary involvement with chondrosarcoma is rarely seen.
Case presentation
In this case report, we will discuss a case of endobronchial chondrosarcoma presenting as recurrent pneumonia.
Conclusions
Only a few cases of primary pulmonary chondrosarcoma are reported with endobronchial involvement, therefore being quite rare. |
