Abstract

Clear cell chondrosarcoma is thought a varient of chondrosarcoma. The tumor usually involves the proximal part of the femur or humerus. Histologically, tumor cells with abdundant clear cytoplasm and benign giant cells are usually found. En bloc resection rather than more radical surgery is thought adequate in the treatment, We have experienced one case of clear cell chondrosarcoma affecting the calcaneus, which is reported in this paper with brief review of literature.
