Radiographs above showed a huge tumour around the elbow joint with calcifications which resemble "rings and arcs", suggestive of chondroid tumour.
MRI of the joint (T1-Gadolinium enhanced) showed an angry looking mass with heterogeneous enhancement. Although MRI is not diagnostic in most soft tissue tumour, it gives important information with regards to the aggressiveness of the lesion (e.g. muscular, neurovascular bundle and bone involvement) as well as the compartment involved in the limbs. The information will prove useful for the surgeon to plan for surgical removal.
