Abstract

SALVADOR-MARIN, J et al. Hematuria as the first sign of pelvic chondrosarcoma. Acta ortop. mex [online]. 2020, vol.34, n.5, pp.313-318.  Epub Feb 21, 2022. ISSN 2306-4102.  https://doi.org/10.35366/97995.

Chondrosarcoma is a malignant tumor which often affects the pelvic ring and its symptomathology is non-specific and insidious. We display a case of a right iliopubic branch chondrosarcoma in a 62-year-old male whose first sing was a four-year history of sporadic macroscopic haematuria, related to efforts. After being studied by the Urology Department by cystoscopy and biopsy of bladder tumor, chondral cells were appreciated. Further study with imaging tests diagnosed low-grade chondrosarcoma with bladder infringement. The case is assessed by Musculoskeletal Tumors Committee and a multidisciplinary approach is carried out through en bloc resection and pelvic floor reconstruction. Currently the patient remains asymptomatic.

Keywords : Pelvic chondrosarcoma; haematuria; multidisciplinary approach; en bloc resection.
