Radiographs<br />
No significant abnormality
Clinical Dx<br />
• Slipping Rib Syndrome<br />
• Next step: US
Ultrasound
Ultrasound<br />
• 3.0 x 3.1 cm round heterogeneous mass in<br />
the region of the xyphoid<br />
• Mostly hypoechoic with bright hyperechoic<br />
speckles suggesting chondroid matrix or<br />
residual destructed bone<br />
• Internal vascularity was demonstrated by<br />
color Doppler
<strong>Chest</strong> CT
<strong>Chest</strong> CT

<strong>Chest</strong> CT<br />
• Lytic expansile 3.6 x 3.4 x 3.2 cm lesion in<br />
the inferior body of the sternum<br />
• Soft tissue density<br />
• Small higher density areas likely<br />
fragmentation of cortex, not chondroid<br />
matrix
Differential<br />
• Plasmocytoma<br />
• Multiple Myeloma<br />
• Metastasis<br />
• Sarcoma<br />
• Giant Cell tumor<br />
• Chondrosarcoma
US guided biopsy<br />
• Diagnosis made by<br />
percutaneous Ultrasound<br />
directed biopsy of mass<br />
• Pathology showed a grade II<br />
chondrosarcoma<br />
• 24 days later, the pt’s s distal<br />
sternum was resected ‘en<br />
bloc’
Diagnosis: Chondrosarcoma<br />
• 2 nd most common primary bone<br />
malignancy (25%)<br />
• Usually pt’s s >40 y.o. (rare in children)<br />
• Cartilaginous origin therefore matrix is<br />
entirely chondroid<br />
• 5 year survival rate ranges from 90% to<br />
29% depending on grade<br />
• Tumors often recur 5-105<br />
years after<br />
surgery<br />
