ABSTRACT
Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease is an autosomal dominant inherited tumor syndrome. Clear cell chondrosarcoma (CCCS) is a rare variant of chondrosarcoma. Here, we report a case of CCCS in the talus occurring in a patient with VHL disease. A 32-year-old man presented with ankle pain for 2 years. MRI revealed a 4.2 cm mass in the talus, and needle biopsy was performed. The patient underwent curettage but the final diagnosis was CCCS. Adjuvant radiation therapy was performed without additional talectomy and the patient was alive without recurrence for a follow-up period of 2 years. To our knowledge, this is the first case in the English medical literature of a co-presentation of this rare disease and condition i.e. CCCS with VHL disease in the unusual location of the talus. We cautiously suggest that CCCS may be associated with VHL disease based on their histologic similarity.
