A large proportion of Emergency Department visits are for chronic pain, specifically for chronic back pain. Often this entity requires minimal diagnostics. However, certain populations and presentations require a higher vigilance and a more detailed evaluation. This report describes the clinical presentation of a young adult with chronic back pain who exhibited new symptoms and subtle examination findings that expedited the ultimate diagnosis of pelvic chondrosarcoma.
