"moth-eaten appearance or permeative appearance in higher grade tumours (see chondrosarcoma grading), e.g. myxoid, dedifferentiated and mesenchymal chondrosarcomas"

"cortical remodelling, thickening and periosteal reaction are also useful in distinguishing between an enchondroma and low-grade chondrosarcoma (see enchondroma vs low-grade chondrosarcoma)"
"The management and prognosis depend on the subtype, the histological grade and the location of the tumours (see also respective articles). Treatment usually involves surgery, and the type of excision will again vary with the type, grade and location of the tumour 2. Chemotherapy and radiation generally play no role, except for mesenchymal chondrosarcomas 2,3."
