Few studies dealing with chondrosarcoma of the pelvis are currently
available. Different data about the overall survival and prognostic
factors have been published but without a detailed analysis of surgery-related complications.
We aimed to analyse the outcome of a series of pelvic chondrosarcomas
treated at a single institution, with particular attention to the
prognostic factors. Based on a competing risk model, our objective
was to identify risk factors for the development of complications. In a retrospective single-centre study, 58 chondrosarcomas (26
patients alive, 32 patients dead) of the pelvis were reviewed. The
mean follow-up was 13 years (one week to 23.1 years).Aims
