Quick Summary:

• Primary Chondrosarcoma of Kidney is a rare, aggressive form of kidney cancer. The tumor is observed in both children and adults
• However, for the tumor to be called ‘primary’, the tumor must arise from kidney tissue, there must be no chondrosarcoma present anywhere else in the body, and the sarcomatoid variant of renal cell carcinoma needs to be excluded
• The risk factors for carcinoma development are unidentified. However, the general risk factors for kidney cancers include a family history of kidney cancer, smoking, exposure to toxins, high blood pressure, obesity, and other factors
• The signs and symptoms of Primary Chondrosarcoma of Kidney may include blood in urine, a lump on the side of the abdomen, flank pain, unexplained fever, and unexplained weight loss. It can give rise to complication such as the spread of cancer to other parts of the body (metastasis)
• The treatment options include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and targeted drug therapy. The prognosis of Primary Chondrosarcoma of Kidney depends on size of tumor and whether it is localized in the kidney or has metastasized (if it is in its early or advanced stage, at the time of diagnosis). However, despite adequate treatment, the prognosis is usually poor
