Core Tip

Core Tip: The main objective of this article is to present a case of chondrosarcoma that invaded the first phalanx of the left foot and formed a sizeable phalangeal mass with osteolytic destruction of the distal bone. Chondrosarcoma originating in a toe bone has only been sporadically reported, and this case report will help clinicians better understand this rare lesion.
