Abstract

We present histopathologic and imaging features, treatment alternatives, and follow-up of a patient with a secondary chondrosarcoma of talus. A 27-year-old man with a chondrosarcoma arising from a preexisting benign tumor was treated by talectomy. At 3 years' follow-up, there is no evidence of recurrence or metastasis. The patient can walk with slight limp without the aid of external support.
