Abstract
Chondrosarcoma (CS) is a relatively rare malignant tumor of
chondroblasts with pure hyaline cartilage differentiation. The
neo-plastic cells
do not synthesize osteoid, but areas of calcification, ossification and
myxoid change may be seen. A total of 14 cases were obtained from two
major hospitals in the northwest region of Libya over a period of 6
years. Clinico-pathological data were evaluated including age and
gender.
The result showed that (CS) was slightly more common in females than in
males, male to female ratio was (1.7: 2) with a peak incidence in
the second and third decades of life. It is concluded from this study
that CS is generally a slightly more common in females than in males and
more frequently affected patients in the second and third decades of
life. There is no any previous published article regarding this aspect
in the
northwest region of Libya. Therefore, this paper may will bring forward
data for further study of CS in future in Libya.
