We described a case of chondrosarcoma involving the proximal end of the humerus— which was treated by the total shoulder joint replacement (Michael Reese type) after the wide resection.
The case was a 43 years old man who was admitted to our hospital with pathologic fracture of the right proximal humerus in April 1983. This case was treated with intra-arterial high-dose driamycin pre- and post-operatively and total shoulder joint replacement after wide resection of the primary tumor.
Histological finding of the tumor showed chodrosarcoma of Grade III (Evans). Satisfactory result was obtained at one year after the operation.
