Chondrosarcoma is a common malignant bone tumor, which accounts for 20% of all malignant bone tumors. It often occurs in the long bones, but the incidence of scapular chondrosarcoma is rare. Here, we describe a case of a large chondrosarcoma occurring in the scapula which was treated with Malawer limb salvage surgery. The patient retained considerable limb function after complete removal of the tumor tissue as assessed at the follow-up visit two years and ten months following surgery.
软骨肉瘤是一种常见的恶性骨肿瘤，占所有恶性骨肿瘤的20%。它常发生于长骨，但肩胛骨软骨肉瘤的发病率罕见。在此，我们描述一例发生于肩胛骨的巨大软骨肉瘤病例，该病例采用了马拉韦尔保肢手术进行治疗。在术后两年零十个月的随访评估中，患者在肿瘤组织完全切除后保留了相当程度的肢体功能。
