Malignant transformation of extra-articular synovial chondromatosis: report of a case. 1980

T E Kaiser, and J C Ivins, and K K Unni

A 47-year-old woman had a chondrosarcoma arise in extra-articular synovial chondromatosis near the ankle. A review of the literature suggests that this lesion is rare and that proper interpretation of histopathologic preparation of cartilage lesions can be difficult.
