Skip Lesions in Chondrosarcoma: Is Whole Bone Imaging Necessary?
Skip lesions in long bone chondrosarcoma are rare. All skip lesions in this study were in close proximity to the primary tumor and the same grade as the main lesion. Our results suggest that advanced imaging of the whole bone may be of low utility for evaluating the presence of skip lesions. The clinical significance of skip lesions in chondrosarcoma remains unclear, however, their presence did not impact the treatment plan in this series.
