ABSTRACT
We present a case of a 58-year-old male who presented following 4 months of progressively worsening right upper extremity pain. Initial pathology demonstrated pleomorphic chondroblasts with increased mitotic activity indicating an intermediate grade (Grade 2) clear cell chondrosarcoma of the proximal humerus. Following surgical resection, the primary lesion demonstrated aggressive behavior and early metastasis to the cervical and thoracic spine. The patient unfortunately expired 30 months after initial presentation. Although clear cell chondrosarcoma has been historically regarded as low grade, we present a unique example of an aggressive clinical course of clear cell chondrosarcoma.
