Abstract
Chondromas are benign cartilaginous tumors most commonly arising in the small bones, while sacral involvement remains exceedingly rare. We report the case of a 53-year-old male patient presenting with pelvic pain. Imaging studies revealed a pelvic mass that originates from the sacrum. The patient underwent complete surgical excision abdominal approach, postoperative recovery was uneventful, and no recurrence was observed at 5 years follow-up. This case highlights the diagnostic challenge of distinguishing sacral chondroma from low-grade chondrosarcoma and emphasizes the importance of complete resection and long-term surveillance to prevent local recurrence.
