Clear cell chondrosarcoma

Clear cell chondrosarcomas are low-grade malignant chondrogenic bone neoplasms of the epiphysis. The name derives from the presence of clear cell chondrocytes which contain abundant vacuolated cytoplasm due to the presence of glycogen. Epidemiology Clear cell chondrosarcomas make up around 2% ...
