Chondrosarcoma is the third most common primary malignant tumor of bone. Epiphyseal invasion is rare and joint involvement is reported to be even less common. In this paper, a patient is described with primary medullary chondrosarcoma of the proximal tibia with transarticular spread of the tumor to involve the distal femur. The differential diagnosis with bone scans and CT and the possible mechanisms of transarticular spread are discussed.
