A chondrosarcoma with pulmonary metastatic calcifications is a rarely reported phenomenon. This report discusses chondrosarcomas and their clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment, using as an example the case of a 55-year-old female with a right pelvic chondrosarcoma that developed over 10 years. In the last two years, the patient had increasing pulmonary findings, including pulmonary nodules, ground glass opacities, and likely pulmonary metastatic calcifications. The objective of this report is to explore chondrosarcomas and their pattern of metastatic presentation, with the hope of improving recognition of the disease and streamlining treatment.
