Chondrosarcoma is a sub-type of bone cancer that usually occurs in the bones. However, it may also develop in the surrounding soft tissues. The hip, pelvis, and shoulder bones are most commonly affected areas.

Chondrosarcomas are usually slow-growing tumors; however, some types of chondrosarcomas are aggressive and have a high risk of metastasis.
