clavicular bone tumors occur in less than 0.5 percent of bone tumors. primary chondrosarcoma is very rare even among clavicle tumors. the main symptom is a touchable mass in 69 % of patients. dedicated centers using fna and cytology can reach a correct diagnosis in 94% of cases. treatment planning is done using simple x-ray, ct-scan, shoulder mri, chest ct-scan, and whole body technetium scan. ...

Chest X-ray ( fig. 1 a, arrows) and a contrast-enhanced CT scan ( fig. 1 b) demonstrated a well-defined, homogeneous, pleural soft-tissue mass close to the right diaphragm. It was slightly enhanced, similar to that of a normal liver without any anatomic connection with subpleural, normal liver. A diagnostic CT-guided transthoracic A 65-year-old female who had never smoked presented with an abno...
