Abstract

A patient treated with curettage and bone grafting for a chondroblastoma of the distal femur sustained a pathologic fracture after a local recurrence. He then underwent a local, radical resection and an arthrodesis of the knee. Ten years after the first operation, pulmonary metastases were found, for which he underwent a metastasectomy (thoracotomy). At the latest follow-up, 1 year later there were no signs of tumor.
