Abstract
Introduction: Chondrosarcoma includes several anatomoclinical forms of tumors with cartilaginous histogenesis.It is a malignant tumor whose tumor cells are associated with a cartilage matrix.Case report: We present the case of a patient with stage 1 chondrosarcoma of the proximal part of the left fibula.The patient underwent a proximal fibula resection with a favorable outcome.Conclusion: Resection of tumors of the proximal fibula may cause knee instability, peroneal palsy through involvement of the external popliteal sciatic nerve or with local radiotherapy, a higher risk of delayed healing and the occurrence of fracture. Despite the risks of resection of the proximal fibula, good functional results can be obtained.
Highlights
Primary or metastatic fibular bone tumors are rare
For carcinologic resection of malignant bone tumors, the common peroneal nerve or peroneal muscle must sometimes be resected, which leads to a foot drop or sensory deficit [3]
CASE REPORT We report a case of a 50-year-old patient who has had pain in her left knee for 3 years
