Abstract
Low grade chondrosarcoma is considered to have less aggressive clinical course and is generally managed by excision. We hereby report a diagnosed patient with low grade chondrosarcoma of right proximal femur who presented for palliative radiotherapy.   PET-CT scan of whole body showed vertebral metastasis. She later developed occult blood in stool for which she was evaluated with endoscopy which revealed pedunculated ulcerative lesion in stomach. She also had colonic mass lesion and paratracheal lymph nodal enlargement. This report is to make ourselves aware the possible metastatic potential of low grade chondrosarcoma.
Keywords : Bone Neoplasms, Chondrosarcoma, Colonic Neoplasms, Occult Blood, Positron Emission Tomography.
